Seyi Shay while reacting to a singer’s performance on Sunday, described it as terrible.
She said: ”You are never going to make money being a singer.
“Who told you to come for the audition? Whoever it is, you should go back and tell them they are not your friends. That was not a good one. You have a sweet, token voice but your performance is terrible.”
