Singer; Maheeda is one of Nigeria most
controversial entertainers. The good thing is
that she doesn’t hide her thoughts; she says it
as it is. In a recent chat up with encomium
magazine, Maheeda explained her
relationship between porn star, Afrocandy,
How she sometimes gets jealous of Tiwa
Savage and Muna, her husband, her daughter,
her religion and so much more. Read some
excerpts;
Who is Caroline Sam?
Caroline Sam is also known as Maheeda. I
grew up in the North and lost my parents at a
very tender age. I am a mother, an orphan
and a musician.
Majority know you as Maheeda, how did
you come about the name?
I gave myself the name, Maheeda because of
the meaning. According to Muslims, it means
Blessing. But I chose Maheeda because I
heard a story that Maheeda was a vessel filled
with gold and some people discovered it and
started prospering from the gold. I believe I
am the Maheeda, full of gold and Nigerians
would discover me.
You were once a gospel artiste, what
happened?
I think what happened was just spiritual
maturity. At a stage in your life, you have to
take a break and grow up or else everything
will just be wrong. I needed to grow
spiritually. Christians call it born again. I am
standing in the gap not for Christians or for
Muslims.
As a born again, it appears you don’t have
a problem exposing your body. Why is
that?
True, I don’t have a problem doing that but I
think it is because of my job and I know most
Christians won’t understand it. But I just
believe that this is what I have to do, to get
attention, especially when it comes to my job
and I just believe His grace is enough for me.
He loves me more than my ‘nakedness’. If
you see God as a Father because He sees you
as a daughter, I would not because of your
nakedness want to ruin you or kill you. That
is how I see God. He understands me. He
hates me but He loves me at the same time.
In your recent video, Naija Bad Girl, why
were you naked?
I did the video naked because I want people
including the media to talk about it and that
is happening already.
Are you signed into any record label?
I am signed to my own record label, Yes Ma
Record. Ma is the short form of Maheeda.
From observations, it was discovered that
there is a kind of rivalry between yourself and
Afrocandy. What is going on?
I really don’t know, maybe she feels
threatened. I used to feel threatened as well,
it is normal. Sometimes I feel jealous of Muna,
Tiwa Savage. I feel like why are you having
all those things which I don’t have. It is just
normal but it is the ability to control it that
really matters.
How do you relax?
Having good sex with my husband. Massage
also helps.
