The singer, who revealed her virginity status at 23, made a disclosure on why she has abstained from sex all her adult life despite her past offer to any man who could buy her mum a private jet, the insurgent group, Boko Haram in exchange for the abducted Chibok girls and a final offer to fellow singer Davido.
In a chat with Potpourri, Adokiye stated that her drive for success is so strong that she doesn’t want it to be tainted with sex.
She said, “ I sacrificed the idea of even having sex for fame and fortune, in order to get to where I am and where I am going. I had to stay away from sex.
I want to be pure in the process of chasing my dreams because I believe some things can contaminate and pollute the process,” she offered.When she was reminded that there are many female singers out there, having active sexual lives and at the same time enjoying tremendous success, Adokiye retorted:
“If they are, then, I’ m sure there is something they have sacrificed for their fame. At least for the time they started and up on till this time. It could be marriage or something else that is not very visible.
Most that are more successful then me are older and not married. Something just got to be sacrificed, depending on what works well with personal resolve and discipline. Most times, one must sacrifice something for fame and fortune.”
