Revered Nigerian singer, Asa didn’t lose her virginity until she was 28, and fans her shook.
Funmi Iyanda published a never-seen-before interview of singer Asa in which the Dead Again singer shared her rising to the spotlight, her relationship with her mother, getting the big break in France, losing her virginity at 28, and more.
Speaking about keeping herself until she turned 28, she said she called her manager and her mum, and told them about her ‘predicament’–that she wanted to have S3x for the first time and was unsure how it would go down.
“[My mum] was shocked that I was actually a very late starter. And my mum had no advice; the only thing she could shyly say was, ‘hmm, it will be painful at first’,” the singer recalled.
And when Ms. Iyanda asked her to reconfirm her claims– that she was actually a virgin until 28, Asa nodded in the affirmative. “I am ashamed to say [it],” she said, and as the audience exploded in cheers and applause, she added, “No, no. Don’t clap for me. I am not proud.”
Asked if she stayed away from S3x because she was shy, the singer said, “I was shy. I was somewhere else, in a place where I needed to carry the world on my shoulder and I needed to focus on my career.”
