International singer and songwriter, Bukola Elemide, popularly known as Asa, has revealed that her parents lack of height spurred her affection for tall men.
Asa who made this revelation during an interview with Ndani TV, said she hopes to marry a tall guy if she ever decides to be married.
She said, “I am crazy for tall guys. They could be dark. If you are dark, be very dark. Then, it takes me time to think, ‘Does he have a brain?’ If my future man is short, if I ever get married, I won’t complain. I do hope he is not short, because my parents were short and I wasn’t happy about that.”
Asa also noted that when she started her music career, she was wary of opinions about her voice.
The Europe-based singer said, “I just never trusted people; maybe it was (because) my father told me all the time that ‘you can’t trust people’. I think people just didn’t get me. When I started performing publicly, I didn’t come out as a singer. I came out as a dancer.
That thing was inside me saying, ‘Why is your voice like this? Why do you sound like this? Why do you walk like this? Who do you think you are’? So, I just went into my world and performed to an imaginary audience. When my first album came out, I did not expect it was going to be that big. I was shy and slightly embarrassed. I thought I was not ready and still needed to do more work.”
