The exchange took place on Christmas Day when Waje posted new images on the platform X.
One user remarked, “Upon makeup, you still look old.”
Waje responded, “Aging is a blessing, hopefully, you’ll experience it in your lifetime. Merry Christmas child.”
Her reply has garnered admiration from her fans and social media users, who applauded her for advocating a positive perspective on aging and self-acceptance.
Waje possesses a voice that resonates deeply, showcasing a remarkable vocal range and soulful melodies that have enchanted audiences throughout Nigeria and beyond. However, her talents extend far beyond her musical achievements.
In a recent interview with Channels News, Waje elaborated on her diverse income streams, which empower her to lead a life defined by her own choices.
Accompanied by her daughter, Emerald, Waje emphasized the importance of financial independence for women and offered their perspectives on the #HerMoneyHerPower initiative.
As a single mother, Waje shared her experiences regarding the difficulties of raising her daughter, emphasizing the network of women who provided support during her journey. She conveyed her appreciation for those who assisted her in managing both motherhood and her professional life, mentioning that her mother and aunt, both dedicated workers, motivated her to seek innovative income opportunities.
In addition to her music career, Waje has ventured into real estate and established various business initiatives, stating, “If the women before me didn’t run, how would I sprint?”
Emerald, a recent graduate, shared her insights on her journey. “I’m a fresh graduate, and I work and earn a salary,” she explained. After Waje stopped her allowance upon graduation, Emerald has been fending for herself. Waje added that this decision was intentional, aiming to teach her daughter how to create financial stability.
Waje emphasized the necessity for women to build generational wealth and acquire the skills needed to secure their futures. She reflected on her responsibilities as the eldest sibling, often putting others' needs before her own, which parallels the societal expectations placed on women to prioritize family over personal aspirations. She advocates for women to focus on their financial well-being while still nurturing their families.
