'Why I like to expose my cleavage" singer Emma Nyra explains

In an interview with Encomium magazine this week, singer Emma Nyra explained why she likes to show off her cleavage. Which young lady doesn't? Lol. Her response below...
"It's not that I flaunt them but part of your selling point as a female artist is your body, your voice, your look, your hair, everything. Chidinma's lack of hair is her selling point, you understand. Each part of you is your selling point"
Asked why she flashes the boobs even though they are not big, Emma responded;
"Its confidence, you understand. Somebody like Toolz for example, her selling point is her body. Before her voice, it's her body. As a woman, her own packaging is always different. I have grown up to be comfortable with the way the skin is because I have accepted the fact that I can't change it, I have to accept the way I am. Men don't look at me, the women look at women. If I go out with or without makeup, a man will not notice. But if I go out and I see a woman, she will say Emma Nyra you are looking different from how I see you on TV. She would comment on everything to my eyebrow but a man won't look that deep unless he is into fashion and everything. I have learnt to accept myself. If you are not confident about yourself, people won't buy your brand" she said
On her opinion on bleaching, Emma said;
"I grew up with white people and I noticed that white people tan. They wanted to look like me whereas I wanted to look like them while growing up because I wanted to belong. This bleaching thing, Indians do it too, even Americans do it too. Its been so bad lately because the society's perception of beauty has to do with it. The lighter the better, whereas, in Europe, the darker the better. Dark hair, dark skin, its a kind of class. That's how they do their own class system. Our own is just, we have grown up watching aunties bleach. When I fist came to Nigeria, I went to a store and I couldn't find a regular cream, all I saw was whitening. I went to Dubai, the same thing. Indians and Arabs, they bleach. I am more concerned with clear skin, not light or dark or whatever because I grew up seeing girls wanting to be dark. So it didn't affect me that way. I don't support bleaching, I don't think it's right. Some people wear padded bra, some where padded bum. As a woman, you can choose whatever you want. You can change your nose, your breast, anything. But as for bleaching, because of the long term effect, I don't think it's good for you"

  14. Selling point ko, Selling point Ni........
    Who told u Chidinma's selling point is her hair...D girl is simply talented!!!

    So if u cover up, u music wldn't sell, I'm not saying wear Iro & Buba, but cover d necessary areas as a female artist...It wldnt hot.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I agree with her on bleaching and totally disagree with her on the selling point! Yea Chidinma has got the low cut do working for her, but she backs that up with talent and a great personality! Taylor Swift and Jessica Alba are class acts, they never expose their bodies yet they are revered in the industry! There are many more like them in the country, look at Genevieve yet she is revered. Ad men will tell you that "SEX SELLS" which is why semi nude girls are used in adverts and music videos alongside fully clothed men! I'd like to believe it is not a man's world anymore but if women continue to set double standards it surely will continue to be!

  23. Na wa o! Of course you know the women are not looking at you in admiration. I believe you can sell yourself or talent without exposing your body. My opinion though.All the best.

    ReplyDelete
  24. and this is why you wont go far as an artist dumb ass! cos your Ultimate selling point as an artist is you Music and your Art not YOUR BODY! and keep saying Toolz, just wait till she sits on your malfunctioning brain with her "selling point". why so dumb though?

  62. Why don't you let your music speak for itself instead of exposes your sagging breasts to get attention?
    You sound desperate and willing to do ANYTHING to be noticed. Toolz and chidinma are both classy and keep their clothes on unlike you. Try and spend more time learning how to sing instead of using cheap publicity antics to get people's attention. Desperate girl...smh

  72. Confidence has nothing to do with exposing ur body. Any permanent alteration to ur God given body is just wrong I agree wit her on dat but, selling point???, seriously? As an artist ur selling point is ur work, if not y is Jay Z more successful dan Trey Songs wen He's so damn "unhansome". plz no reasonble person shud ve such classless perception

  74. Emma nyra. The breast that your manager has finished sucking and ready to dump I hear. How many years you've been in that triple mg nothing is working for you you no dey tire? Better go and get a 9-5 job. Not everyone has a shining star on their head honey. Leave that poor boy Ubi alone and his money again leave him. How can a normal human open mouth to say your breastfeeding is a selling point in other words you're a prostitute abi? Sister na wa for you Abeg. I hope that ubi franklin opens his eyes to see that you've fallen finish including your breast and use that money for sth else. Mtcheew. I also hear he beats her up and down the triplemg house sef. Is that life? All for fame. No go your mama house go rest.

  75. abegi jor.. must u flaunt ur body to sell urself? dont just understand our female artiste mentality.. may God save us.

  76. The whole MMG needs someone to always advice them on what to say on interviews, they need scripts... na so that tekno sef say dem dey mistake am for Sisqo, can y'all be real for once? selling point? mtchew goody bag ni.
