Seyi Shay would not have done music in Nigeria if there were no Vector. The singer and Vector would appear together in yet-to-be-released movie, Lara and The Beat.
Shay explained in a recent interview with Sunday Scoop that she and Vector have a long partnership history.
She said it was easy to accept a role in the upcoming movie because of her long-term partnership with rapper, Vector.
“I have a long and exciting history with Vector before the music and movie. He was one of the reasons I stayed in Nigeria to do music. When I first came to Nigeria, he was the first friend I made in the music industry.”
Seyi Shay stated that Vector helped her settle and guided her during her early days in the music industry.
She added that the early work relationship contributed to her chemistry with the ace rapper (who would later feature in the remix of her entrance song, “Irawo”).
“He really helped me understand the Nigerian music and told me things I didn’t know at the time. I featured him on the remix of Irawo. I am happy it was him I played a movie role with,” The singer said.
“It was very easy working with him because I know him well. I definitely think Lara and the Beat is a movie worth watching because we both share a strong chemistry.”
Seyi Shay admitted that before accepting her role in the movie, Lara and The Beat, she had feared her popularity would wane due to the demanding nature of movie-making.
“I abandoned my music career for about two months as the hours on set were very long. I couldn’t go to shows neither could I record songs. I lost money but I made a great movie.”
Seyi Shay believed by the time the movie is released her popularity would have been boosted in a way that would affect her music career positively.
The movie, Lara and The Beat would premiere in cinemas across Nigeria from the 20th of July, 2018.
