Nigerian singer Seyi Shay has disclosed that she and rapper Vector were formerly romantically involved.
The “Jangilova” singer remarked on her on-screen relationship with Vector in a movie they costarred in in an Instagram post, saying it was natural to get personal for the part because “we were an item.”
They had dated for years before she became famous or got the movie job, according to Shay. Additionally, she called Vector “an amazing, super intelligent, and loving” individual.
“I want to go back in time a little bit to 2018 when I started in a movie titled ‘Lara and the Beat’. It was myself, Somkele Iyamah and Vector the viper,” she said.
“It is crazy because a lot of people asked how the chemistry between us was strong and realistic in the movie.
“Well, many years ago before I became famous, myself and Vector was an item. So, it was natural to fall in character.
“Vector is an amazing person, super intelligent and loving.”
Shay revealed that while filming intimate scenes with Vector felt awkward, their past relationship and the support of his wife, who was present on set, made it easier.
She said she and the rapper have remained great friends.
“Funnily enough, his wife was present on the set and every scene we had to kiss or get intimate and she was supportive,” she added.
“So, it was just a funny tand crazy experience. However, he and I remained great friends. Even though it was awkward for both of us to at that role but it was easier to do those scenes because we were familiar with each other.”
