, I thought, perhaps, I should leave the industry while the applause is still loud. It was a scary time and I didn’t want to be known as a failed artiste.
A girl needs a father. A girl needs her father, this girl will always love her father. This girl will dearly miss her father. Rest well daddy, you will always be in our hearts!

About this person
Born Aituaje Aina Vivian Ebele Iruobe on 1 September 1981, the Nigerian singer turned her full name into an acronym and a stage persona. The breakthrough came through collaboration - P-Square's "Omoge Mi" remake in the mid-2000s introduced her voice to a wide audience, and their 2008 track "Do Me" cemented it. More features followed: Banky W, M.I, a string of verses that made her impossible to ignore. By 2016 she'd moved to the other side of the microphone as a judge on the first season of The Voice Nigeria. Two years later she appeared on the final season of the Africa Magic series Battleground, closing one chapter as another turned.
