Seyi Shay speaks on the controversial dress she wore to meet with GEJ, says I wasn't trying to seduce him

Singer Seyi Shay says she had no intention of seducing the president when she wore the short dress to sing and greet the President at the MeetThePresident Youth event in Lagos last Saturday.
"I am a very respectable young lady and I was not in any way trying to seduce the President with the outfit I wore. I had two outfits for the event, one was for my performance and the other was worn after I performed. The dress I was pictured in with the President was what I wore during my performance. I came on stage and greeted everyone according to their culture and I did the same for Mr. President. He was impressed and he asked where and how I knew how to greet in his native dialect and I said I learnt it. That was what brought about the giggling and smiles in the picture. I’m a performer and what I do on stage doesn’t reflect my everyday life. I had two outfits on that day and it was a youth event. Who wouldn’t feel overwhelmed meeting the President? Well, I did and I felt honoured because it is not every day you get to meet the president of your country,” she told Punch.

Please Seyi Shay don't mind all those calling you out, you owe them no explanation. Personally I dont see anything wrong with her outfit that day, because she went for an event and not dinner with the president in aso rock or church event

A show is just a show... I don't see anything wrong in Sheyi shay dressing as her profession demands...Even lawn tennis players and athletes wear skimpy when at work.

I seriously thought this was some random hoe when I saw this picture. When did dressing like a star become synonymous with dressing like a prostitute? This is not a good look for you Seyi, take a cue from how Beyonce dresses around Prez. Obama next time. #linda post my comment o

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the pictures.Onto other things,this matter has been overflogged.

@ Seyi, please do not mind the world. You are an entertainer like u rightly pointed out & u were performing for the youths at this point on behalf of the president. Is your right & your professional life demanded it. Fuck their thoughts. I am proud of you ,& even if you tried seducing the president, what is wrong with it. 99% of the female folks commenting will do so gladly, please. Do whatever that makes you happy so long as you don't disrupt other people in life. Is your right. Fuck the pretenders. Bullshit .

SHE IS VERY STUPID. PERIOD. WHETHER YOUTH RELATED OR OTHER, I BELIEVE THE PRESIDET BEING ANYWHERE IS A FORMAL EVENT. AND WHETHER FOR PERFORMANCE OR ATTENDANCE, YOU DO NOT WEAR A DRESS THAT SCREAMS OF "CLUB" OR STREET WALKER IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PRESIDENT AND HAVE THE NERVE TO COME AND TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN, YOU SHOULD HAVE LET IT SLIDE AND LEARN NOT MAKE AN ELABORATE SPEECH ABOUT DIALECT. FOOL. HIGHEST YOU SHOULD HAVE ADMITTED IN A MATURE WAY THAT IT WAS INNAPROPRIATE NOT THIS RUBBISH YOU ARE SAYING AND PERSONALLY, I THOUGHT ALL THAT SEDUCTION TALK WAS A JOKE SO YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID ANYTHING TO GIVE IT CREDENCE IN ANYWAY...

No, but when she wants to entertain them in the village then she will go for the skimpy ones. After all they have youths in her village. Mtcheew

There's no dress code to meet a president. She did nothing wrong by sitting next to him in her performance outfit. He's still her president no matter how she's dressed.

Girls always feign innocence when they appear in some provocative and revealing outfits, but the truth is that right from the time the outfit was bought, she knew the effect it would have on people, even Mr. President. Let's leave her to her conscience...

I can fault her,after performing, she asked to snap a pix with the president and mr president agreed, now do u expect her to quickly go and change? Ofcourse she had to seize the opportunity and snap with him,i saw it LIVE

I really started disliking her the moment she dissed Amber Rose in that manner... It was very rude and unfair. Even some1 like Beyoncé wouldn't speak like that in public, not bcos she's protecting her fan base but for courtesy.

There's something about body language o! The way the President is sitting and how he has placed his hands it's like he is holding down an erection. Just my supposition, but look at that picture again.
