Solidstar: I Don’t Have Plans For Marriage

Achievas Music act, Solidstar in a recent interview with Punch says he is not interested in getting married. He also shed light on his forthcoming album as well as working with Tiwa Savage, endorsement deals and more.

What projects are you working on currently?

I just released a new video featuring Tiwa Savage and it was directed by Clarence Peters. Right now, I am paying a lot of attention to the video so that it is accepted. I am also working on an international collaboration because I need to extend my brand across Africa.

Why did you decide to work with Tiwa Savage, ahead of other female artistes?

I chose to work with her not because other female artistes are not good enough, but because she was the perfect person for the song.

Why did it take so long to release the video to your song, ‘Baby Jollof’?

We shot two videos at the same time – ‘My Body’ which featured Timaya, and ‘Baby Jollof’ which featured Tiwa Savage. The plan was to release the video for ‘Baby Jollof’ because the audio for it was released before ‘My Body’, but I had already recorded ‘My Body’ with Timaya even though it had not been released. Someone leaked the audio version of ‘My Body’ online and it went viral. Because it’s a fast song, clubs started playing it without delay. We held back the video of ‘Baby Jollof’ and released ‘My Body’ since they are not of the same genre. ‘Baby Jollof’ is a highlife song, while ‘My Body’ is a dance hall-reggae song. Dancehall-reggae was the rave of the moment at that time.

You have had your fair share of scandals and your chat with Timaya detailing a sexual escapade, readily comes to mind. How did you deal with the embarrassment?

That conversation was forged by who I do not know. I respect Timaya a lot; we are friends but there is a limit to the kind of things we do together. I cannot have such a conversation with him. I have never slept in the same hotel with Timaya from the time I started my musical career, so I wonder where that incident took place. However, I am used to being roped into scandals; that is what gives bloggers money and fame. It’s the same way music gives me money, so it is allowed.

What is the highest amount you have been paid to perform at a show?

I don’t think I would like to talk about it because it is personal.

Do you write your own songs?

Yes, I write my songs.

Why do you not clamour for endorsements deals?

My management is working on that.

How do you enjoy the female attention that comes with being a musician?

My kind of music is always directed at females. I like being around ladies, although it is not geared towards taking advantage of them. They inspire me and whenever I come across a female fan, I make sure she has something positive to tell a friend about me.

Do you have plans to walk down the aisle soon?

I do not have plans for that yet. I am not ready for that, I need to work for my unborn children to be comfortable even when I am no more.

What does style mean to you and how do you like to dress?

Everyone needs a style, because you get noticed immediately when you have a unique style. It might be the way you dress or your hairdo. For me, I have a unique hairstyle and a simple but unique dress sense.

Do you workout or diet to stay healthy?

Not really, I just do push-ups and eat the right meal at the right time.

How extravagant are you?

I am not extravagant and I do not indulge.
