The Nigerian entertainment space has once again been stirred by a controversial statement, this time from upcoming musical artist Ms. Jorji, who recently made headlines after openly describing herself as a “bad woman” during an appearance on The Link Up Podcast.
In a video clip from the podcast that has since gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), the singer spoke candidly about her personality, relationships, and how her experiences in her twenties shaped her perception of herself. Her remarks have generated widespread debate online, with many social media users expressing mixed reactions to her bold and unapologetic stance.
During the interview, Ms. Jorji appeared determined to present herself honestly to the public, regardless of how people might interpret her comments. She suggested that she had long accepted who she is and was no longer interested in fitting into society’s expectations of what a “good woman” should be.
In her words:
“I might be called ashawo, am Presidential of ashawo, am not a good woman, my life in my 20s let me know that I wasn’t built to be a good woman, I am built to be what I am a bad woman.”
The statement immediately caught the attention of listeners and social media users, many of whom began discussing the meaning behind her comments. While some viewers criticized her choice of words, others argued that she was simply being honest about her lifestyle and refusing to hide behind a socially acceptable image.
Social Media Reactions
The viral clip quickly spread across various platforms, attracting thousands of comments. Some users described her remarks as shocking, while others viewed them as an example of self-awareness and personal freedom.
A section of commenters praised Ms. Jorji for speaking her truth without fear of judgment. According to them, many public figures often present a carefully crafted image, making her openness refreshing in comparison.
However, critics argued that public personalities should be mindful of the messages they send to younger audiences. Some felt that openly embracing the label of a “bad woman” could be misinterpreted and encourage negative perceptions.
