Aituaje Iruobe, known professionally as Waje, is a Nigerian singer whose vocal range covers three octaves

Has opened up on a personal moment where she almost called it quit on music after she was trolled on social media because of her performance look.

This period in her life was shared by Waje in a recent interview with Chude.

The soul singer revealed that the harsh criticism given to her due to her look threw her into a dark place where she then vowed to quit music.

“I had told myself I was going to quit music and the truth is, that was a reaction… so it was 2013 and I had finished performing at a gig, Colourful World of More, and I had so many things going on in my head and I wasn’t so happy with the performance…

First of all I was angry that the other artistes were allowed to use Live band and I’ve been using Live band since 2009, so in my head, I was like do these people know I am the chairman of Live music, so I was upset that they put up that kind of standard against me and I accepted.

So that was the first thing wrong. I accepted it… because it’s a choice… and then I got to the gig and I started performing, and I wasn’t really feeling myself even though everything seemed okay.

I was done with my performance and I started trending on Twitter. People were throwing shades. Nobody said anything about, my performance strangely, everybody said stuff about how I looked. Someone said I looked like a DSTV remote control… they went in! and the truth is, I still have that picture till today and I looked really good, not bad!….

But the thing is, I believed what they said and I was crying. My manager was there and I cried for the whole night. I bought alcohol, I drank and I was crying and I said to myself that “After today If I do music again, don’t call me Waje” and so I stopped going to gigs.”
