sade was great back in the day, however i dont really regard her as a nigerian artist more a nigerian born artist - she left nigeria at the age of 4 following her parents divorce and was brought up in england by her white english mother and white grand parents - therefore to me she is more english than nigerian. also she tended to date white guys although her only child (a daughter) is with a black jamaican man. she was married briefly to a spanish guy but divorced him in 1995.

i liked her music back in the day though - havent listened to her most recent album but i wish her all the best as she seems quite down to earth and not desperate to be in the limelight like these other "celebrities" that we're lumbered with today.

Lets see what she's got now, she used to be second to Michael Jackson for me in the 80s, her 'lovers rock' album (which i presume was her last' had just a hit and was even nominated for a grammy or so. If its by face though she's got it.

initiate:

she makes good music but the videos are poor,

as an entertainer she is a legend, with her music cutting across generations, age groups, in particular i love cherish the day it so captivating

has she been able to keep a stable relationship, does anyone know abt her personal life?


Sade like most Brits, is pretty secretive about her personal life. What I do know is she is the daughter of a white English mother and a black Nigerian father. She has an older brother. Sade was married before. That marriage ended in 1995 followed by her 1996 (to present??) relationship with a Jamaican producer with whom she has a now 13 year old daughter with.

lol ok i see CAP has already established what I just mentioned but oh well. cool

I have never listened to Sade to tell you the honest to God truth but my mother LOVES that woman.

Sada Adu is cool. She taught me how to love. When I was in love with this girl from high school I used to sing her songs.

Sade is GREAT.

Re: Shade Adu Is Back After 10 Years by babylishus: 8:56am On Mar 12, 2010
See people, let's back off mama gee. After all, there are some people who don't know Pink Floyd, the Beatles and the Supremes (hope you know about them, mama gee. There is a rich music history out there you should research). grin

And mama gee- no need to get so defensive about it. What's wrong with a 'People, I really don't know much about this artiste, who is she?' wink

Kudos to those who tried to enlighten mama gee about this phenomenal artist and as for the rest of y'all getting insultive-, haba people, thats not the way to go. It's highly immature. angry

Mama gee: I don't know what generation you belong to but there is no way you could have been a kid in the 80s and not heard songs like sweetest taboo, is it a crime, and her last album came out in 2000 with the smash singles By your Side and King of Sorrow. All you have to do is google her to find out. She's one of the greatest black female vocalists out there- as a former poster said, the most successful British female singer.

If she's not your type of musician then so be it- we all have different tastes but please respect the fact that to some of us she is one of the greatest female soloists ever. Those titles didnt begin with Beyonce and co, they started with ladies like Sade, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin and great women soloists like them.

Whatever, she was born in a Nigerian city that makes her as Nigerian as Fela Kuti or any other Nigerian. Being raised in England doesn't make her Brit she is as Brit as other immigrants who naturalized in Britain. Get over it, She is Nigerian first Brit second cause she was born in Nigeria! She is of mixed heritage but she is Nigerian!!
Re: Shade Adu Is Back After 10 Years by Rockie: 9:38am On Mar 12, 2010
Mama pee's first comment was so arrogant that it has hate tone in it. I mean she was like "who da hell is she?" and then saying that wasn't her in the picture. So much hatred for someone you can't touch even if she was standing 2 inches from you and she doesn't even know some egotistical slowpoke exist in cyberspace. If you didn't know her, instead of ask politely who she is, you were arrogant and silly about it as if not knowing her makes you cool or something . She watches TV and post of men she sees on TV here makes me wonder which music channel doesn't play Sade's songs.


grin grin grin grin

Ignoramus Mama piss

Re: Shade Adu Is Back After 10 Years by kadman(m): 1:10pm On Mar 12, 2010
@ Mama Gee

Everyday you look more stupid on this forum . . Who the hell is Sade you ask ? Did you grow up in a cave ? You probably did,and still living there undecided

And others, nothing about age. I'm 24 and I and all my mates know who Sade is an copped her Soldier of Love album. I can't believe she did an interview,she's so reclused. . that's part of her charm !!

Re: Shade Adu Is Back After 10 Years by kadman(m): 1:14pm On Mar 12, 2010
Her album cover i just posted is amazing. She has her back to it like she doesn't care,and it's sold more than a million copies less than a month.

In your dreams mate! grin

He mother is British! She was fully educated in Britain at the famed St Martin's College, her craft was honed in Britain and she backed by a British band. (Sade is not entirely a solo artist but also the name of the Band that backs her) She is known as British all around the world in all official capacities. I even doubt she has been to Nigeria since she left aged 4 and can speak yoruba let alone Pidgin like Fela. By the way Fela wasn't raised in Britain.

Re: Shade Adu Is Back After 10 Years by EloSela(f): 5:34pm On Mar 12, 2010
No one is denying that she is Nigerian born and that is what is stated in her official biography but she is never ever referred to as a Nigerian artist but always as a British one. Nigeria didn't do anything for her. She wasn't educated there and neither did she start her career there. She is British through and through.
Re: Shade Adu Is Back After 10 Years by Nobody: 5:44pm On Mar 12, 2010
^^Sade herself doesnt deny her Nigerian roots, anymore than Obama denies his Kenyan ones.

So let it go.

She is Nigerian and British- leave it at that.

Her mom didnt send you message oh.
Re: Shade Adu Is Back After 10 Years by EloSela(f): 5:55pm On Mar 12, 2010
Na fight?

No one is denying her roots but she is known as British artist not a Nigerian one.
Re: Shade Adu Is Back After 10 Years by Nobody: 5:58pm On Mar 12, 2010
^^ you are fighting yourself over the matter.

she's both nigerian and british- that's a fact.

this isnt about anyone claiming anything. 

people dont have to deny their heritage just because you dont like nigeria.

search very hard and see if you can find any of her fans who dont know and acknowledge her nigerian background.

if she herself isnt denying her roots then what's your own?
