The story of songstress, Maheeda, is not a new one. She has been celebrated for years in the music industry as the singer, who was a prostitute, gave birth to a child at the age of 18, found God, became born-again and later turned a gospel musician.
Having become a gospel artiste, a lot of people felt she had turned a new leaf with “old things passing away.” However, the lady stunned her fans and critics recently, when she released semi-nude pictures of herself, as part of promotional materials for her single titled, ‘Loke Loke’.
While Maheeda told www.theoctopusnews.com that she released the pictures in good faith to promote her single, reactions have since trailed her actions.
Some of the reactions read: “Morality to the dogs, is this the new craze, nice body, but aren’t there more important things that she can do, than going for photo sessions and spreading images all over the place? So she uses her sexy pictures to attract us to her music? ”
Reacting to the criticisms from her base in Holland, Maheeda told www.theoctopusnews.com that she is only giving her fans what they want. When asked why she was going back to her days as a secular musician, she said: “I am just being sexy, that’s all. I just did my thing and it is something that I am good at.”
On the probability that it will give her a bad image, the artiste said she was just being herself.
In her words: “I am just being myself, I gave them what they wanted, are they the one feeding me and besides, names don’t put food on your table,” she stated.
On being described as an aspiring porn star, her reaction was simply: “People will always talk, if I don’t do anything they will say I have been idle, let them keep talking; they are the owners of their mouths.”
Maheeda told us that the song, ‘Loke Loke,’ was inspired by her husband. She revealed that he took her into his world and made her whom she is today, an independent woman living abroad.
This is definitely not the last from this seemingly controversial gospel artiste, as she said she is currently working to release a hit album, and she will go to any length to promote it.
