In the last few weeks, Nigerian R&B star, Darey
Art Alade has been building up buzz for the
release of his 4th studio album titled ‘NAKED’.
The singer has finally released his 4th studio
album today, Tuesday, October 13, 2015.
According to Darey ‘Being Naked isn’t just about
Nudity, it’s also about being honest, being
vulnerable and being real’.
In order to promote the album, he urged his
friends and fans to share their own #Naked
stories and a number of Nigerian celebrities took
up the challenge.
See their stories below…
AY Comedian; ‘Sometimes I feel naked without
my parents being around today. Though we were
poor, but there was no giving up in making sure
we got a proper training. Our nakedness they
covered with character, sense of responsibility,
peace and love. I wish they were here to reap
the fruit of their labour. #DareyNaked’
Sound Sultan; ‘Sometimes I think about how
people struggle to be in the VIP section and
wonder if they were truly that important why
weren’t they ushered to their seat with a red
carpet treatment .Everyone is insecure that is
why sometimes the VIP section gets a tad bit
unattractive when the same place has a VVIP
section . If u are really VERY IMPORTANT, the
place won’t make u seem important you will
make the place seem important . (Wherever).I
have seen empty regular sections with arms
length room .in a place were VIP is overcrowded
.VIP indeed (Very Inconvenient Place)’
Deola Art Alade; ‘Before I got married and had
kids, I remember I was quite the ‘lepa’. Those
that know me, know what I’m talking about.
Back then we would even try different things to
get fleshier and curvier lol! But all that changed
once the babies started rolling in…and then
boom! I started blowing up out of proportion
.
“God why me?” I would ask. But after a life-
threatening health scare I realized I had to
adopt a new healthy lifestyle which included
eating right. With dedication, I have lost the
weight and intend to keep it off! Here I am…
from a near size 18 to a 10/12 #DareyNaked’
Zaina; ‘March 2004 I left the United States Air
Force to go back to the “real world” After 4
years in the military world that was a very big
transition to make.. Despite my fears and pull to
stay in the service I put on my big girl shoes
and went #naked back into the world.. Thankful
I did
LIFE AND ALL ITS BEAUTY! #dareynaked’
D’banj ; ‘Being Honest and Being Real to yourself
is the Best Gift
U can give urself . Your Internal Growth controls
your External Growth. One Mans Food is
Another Mans Poison
.
#dareynaked’
Eldee ; ‘Since the day we open our eyes, our
actions are thoroughly judged by the society in
which we live. We are compelled to mold our
life according to the sets of principles and
teachings that have been shoved to us. And so
we dress, eat and live to become socially
acceptable and be praised by everyone around
us. As if this isn’t wrong enough, we sort our
life based on what other people consider
priority. In the process, we forget our own
purpose and end up on the unhappy end of life’s
colorful spectrum.’
Gideon Okeke; ‘The NAKED Truth is…if you ever
believe you Can or Can’t…either ways, Ure Right!
My journey humbles me DAILY! From the
“backside” of Lagos, all I had were DREAMS, a
Box Television set and a Transistor radio. Those
were my VISA and Air ticket to Eldorado. Today,
the Grace of God confirms that your start off
point doesn’t determine your future. I may never
be able to divorce myself from my past, my
inadequacies, my insecurities, my shortcomings.
But dear child…those are the things that make
me UNIQUE! I AM A STORY! I AM GOD’S
TESTIMONY! I AM LARGE!
I would listen to Darey on the radio day/night
back in ’05/06 and I would be guaranteed a
LIFT! No Nepa (Cos AJ city) Just Tiger batteries
for my little Sony radio.
Today, the man hasn’t stopped being a LIGHT
unto his generation. I say, DARE to dream. Take
a chance on yourself. You can meet your
dreams halfway…if you keep on walking!
#DAREYNAKED’
Ikechukwu; Darey asked to share a moment in
my life that no one could be aware of. Go naked
with the truth of life. So here goes. Even thou I
have a lot of stories from my life, the one that
jumped in first was my first job ever. Now of
course I worked for my father before going back
to America for Uni. But my first real job at 17
was working the cash register and putting
orders together at McDonald’s. This wasn’t no
ordinary McDonald’s. It was in Akron Ohio .
Specifically, in the student center of my school
at the time, university of Akron Ohio . First shift
i usually worked 5.25am to 9am. Go to class till
bout 2 pm. Come back and work til about
7.30pm. Grub there. Before walking home. Got
sick of smelling like bigmacs and only eating
them to save money so I quit after getting
another job at Acme Supercenter. Now at Acme
I worked the guns and hunting department. And
almost got killed by a 9yr old with a crossbow
loaded and pointed at me. Thank God his mom
saw him in time . He screamed” I just wanna kill
the nigger maaaa” as she quickly dragged him
out the store. Lol the good times. If i remember
clearly I think i almost went back to McDonald’s
lmaooo. thank God for life every morning cos
that’s one of my softest real life stories.
Besides almost getting killed a lot of other
ways, working 1 to 3 jobs at a time , hustling,
etc etc etc Its ok to be real and frank. To tell
the truth about u without fear of judgement cos
no one will ever know the real you regardless of
how much they judge u. So tell them.
good morning.’
Linda Ejiofor; ‘Fame comes with a lot of
expectations, and perfection is one of them.
Everyone believes your life is 100% perfect
because this job requires a smile every time the
camera is turned on. But behind every famous
“put together” celebrity is a vulnerable #Naked
person. Take away the pretty clothes and we all
have one thing in common. I’m just as human
as you. Own your true self. You’re perfect in
your imperfection #DareyNaked #LindaNaked
#LindaEjiofor #GodIsGood
#GratefulEveryDay

Comedian Bovi; ‘Show me a man who wasn’t
born naked and I’d show you a man who God
loves more than me- Bovi
.
