ADOKIYE Says Her Mum Would Kill Her If She Ever Got Herself Tattooed....LOL.

Adokiye Khiran is a singer and United Nations Peace Ambassador and she recently had a little chat with PUNCH where she revealed a few things and talks about why she wore the same dress worn by American singer Jennifer Lopez recently.

Adokiye also tells us that her mum would kill her if she ever got herself a tattoo...LOL!

A dress you wore for a recent event was a replica of what American singer, Jenifer Lopez, wore for the Grammy Award. How did you get that outfit?

 It is a KDK London dress. My stylist made sure everything was okay. The dress, Neon Christian Louboutin shoes, clutch purse and the accessories were all put together in and delivered from London Town.

It caused a lot of buzz on the internet with foreign blogs also commenting on the dress. Did you foresee this kind of hype?

You are just telling me, foreign blogs too? Wow! Thanks to my lovely stylist, IB Miss Laverite. I actually loved it on JLo and thought I would look great in it. Actually, it took a lot to put everything in place and getting it to me.

What’s your favourite hairstyle?

Punk, Mohawk, I guess maybe because that’s what I’m wearing.

How much does it cost you to make your hair and how long does it take?

Well, I spend about N30,000 or thereabout. It’s a long process that involves cutting, trimming, brushing, tinting and setting.

What is your take on tattoos?

Tattoos? I’m not a fan. I mean I don’t judge people with tattoos; I have a lot of friends with tattoos. I don’t have any. Sincerely, I don’t see myself getting any tattoo ever. That’s the gospel truth. My mummy would literally kill me. I can vividly remember the last time I was in London; I tried to play my mummy, I called my mummy while she was in Nigeria and said, ‘Mummy, I’m in a tattoo shop in London, let me have just one tattoo please.’ She screamed at the top of her voice and ordered me to disappear from the shop at once. So you see, I just can’t have a tattoo.

Do you patronise Nigerian designers?

Oh yes, why not? Our Nigerian designers are really doing so well now. God bless them all.

What influences your fashion statement?

My mood, basically. I can go really loud and decide another time to tone it down. So it all depends.

Is there any fashion item you can’t leave home without?

Oh yes, please, a pair of glasses. I can’t because I have to protect my eyes from hash weather and maybe wink at someone when the person is not noticing.

What is your fashion weakness?

Good perfumes.

How many bottles do you own?

I actually have about 39 bottles of perfumes currently and still have some more to add. Please don’t judge me, it’s not my fault. These people keep making new ones daily and I’m a huge perfume freak.

What is your take on skimpy and revealing clothes?

I think whatever anyone feels comfortable in is okay. It all depends, the way you can’t wear a jalabia to a swimming pool is the same way you can’t wear a bum short to the church.
