I was Paid N500 in My First Music Performance- Waje
Talking about her grass to grace story, Waje in a chat with Saturday
Beats said she was rewarded with just N500 at her first music performance, she also explained that before she became a celebrity, she made and sold chin chin seller.
She told the interviewer;
“I don’t like cooking but I love to bake and I did that for a while with my friend Ijeoma Uzodima. We used to have this chin chin company and we used to sell everything in our stock. I remember that the magistrates in Onitsha at the time used to order from us and we used to sell it in a small can for about N600. We would cut 50kg chin chin for three days and my back would be paining me. I probably would have continued with that if I was not a singer. Ijeoma who is my very good friend was actually the one who used to push me,” she said.
Waje said that the first time she was paid for her
performance, she was given N500 and it lasted her for a week.
According to her, the day she was paid N300,000, she almost went crazy. Waje said, “When
I started my career, it was someone that drew my attention that I could
make money from music. I remember the first time I sang in my school in
UNN, I was wearing a red dress and I sang Whitney Houston’s ‘I will
always love you.’ It was just my voice and there was no instrumental,
the crowd went crazy. I think after my performance, they gave me about
N500. That was enough for a week in school. I remember the first time I
earned N300,000, it was from Zain Mobile Telecomms. They had an end of
the year party in Enugu and they asked me to come and perform. When I
got the money, I went haywire. I am the first in my family, so the money
really helped to stabilise a few things.”
