She disclosed that she was initially set to become YBNL Princess, but Olamide, introduced Temmie Ovwasa instead instead of her.
In her words, “The day Baddo (Olamide) unveiled Temmie Ovwasa, she is my friend but I was really sad. I was supposed to be the YBNL Princess. I was like, ‘Why did they sign someone else?’”
However Temmie did not last in her position as YBNL Princess as she had a fall out with Olamide some years later over allegations of being maltreated.
Candy Bleakz on the struggles of being a female artist in Nigeria said;
“For a female artist, when you’re pretty it’s a problem, when you’re ugly it’s a problem. When you’re too sexy it’s an issue and when you are not it’s an issue. Because I’m bringing something to the table but you will see comments like, ‘She’s not fine. She’s not dressing sexy. And at the same time, when she is fine they would want her to bring something to the table.”
