“I want to win a Grammy and do a duet with Beyonce” – Waje

Popular singer, Aituaje Iruobe aka Waje, has disclosed that her greatest dream is to win a Grammy award and also do duet with American singer, Beyonce.

“I would love to share the same stage with Beyonce doing a duet! A Grammy is also in the plans. What this means is that I’m working towards getting my music to a global audience.” She said in an interview with Punch.

Waje during the interview also cleared the air on her relationship with popular Rapper, Jude Abaga aka MI.

Reacting to the claims that she was having an affair with MI, Waje who is a single mother, said their “relationship was strictly business.”

“They are just rumours. MI is a very good friend of mine and a brother. We have been able to make beautiful music together and that is a blessing I am grateful for. When we released One Naira, many fans thought a deep chemistry existed between us and that it actually manifested in the quality of the song. As great as this sounds, the rumour is not true, I am not dating MI,” she said.

The sultry singer further disclosed that she might veer into film acting soon. “You’d be surprised. I have been given some roles in a few up-coming movies. Watch out for them,” she said, adding that since music is an integral part of entertainment, nobody should be surprised when an actor or actress decides to record an album.

“In old Hollywood, you couldn’t become a successful actor if you lacked the ability to sing. Singing and acting are connected. Entertainment is connected. Look at Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson, for instance. Hudson won an Oscar for her first feature movie. So, it is possible to be an actor and a musician,” she noted.
