Nigerian artist Aituaje Vivian Ebele Iruobe, better known by her stage name Waje, has spoken up about her past struggles with body insecurities and how she overcome it.

In a recent episode of Tope Olowoniyan’s Her Next Chapter podcast, the 44-year-old revealed that in her 20s, she wore many bras at once because she was insecure about her endowment.

“Even before I had my child, I have always been heavy at the top. I used to hid it. In my 20s, I used to wear like three bras. I used to be very uncomfortable about how heavy I was at the top,” she said.

The music star explained that with time, she grew more confident and stopped being insecure about her body.

She added that becoming a mother also changed how she viewed her body.

Waje credited some of her friends including rapper M.I and professional dancer Kaffy for boosting her self-confidence, and making her to grow thick skin to negative comments.
