| Joleeta Aaron Damap |
You can’t talk about Divas in Jos (Jtown) without
mentioning Joleeta Aaro Damap a sensational RnB singer, songwriter, performer,
model and a writer. Joleeta Aaron Damap who prefers to be called JoleetaDiva
was born in the early 1990s, to a father who is also a musician. This beautiful,
charming, performer and songwriter is from Mangu local government area of
Plateau State.
Joleeta started music officially in 2011, with a distinct style
of mixing soul with hip hop and reggae. She recorded and released her first
single “For You To Say” in 2012. Her second single’ Specially for Naija ‘was released in
2013. Joleeta also released her third single ‘Spend You Dou’ in 2014.
In this EXCLUSIVE interview with Frank’s blog, Joleeta tries
to address issues surrounding her dress pattern
and lifestyle that came up on social media…..
There is this article
online where some of your fans refer to you as a snub. What do you have to say?
I feel most people get this vibe
because they hardly get to meet ad know me. I am naturally quiet and reserved
from birth, and I guess they always mistake that for snubbing. It is funny to
hear some of my fans say that I am a snub because I haven’t achieved 1% of what
I will do in the entertainment industry, so why would I even start snubbing at
this early stage? It doesn’t make sense. However, my fans and friends are my number
one, so if the say I snub, there is a problem somewhere. It is my job to
address it and we will all be good.
Another issue raised was your
pattern of dressing. Are you in anyway copying Nicki Minaj?
I am very original in my
dressing. I never try to copy anyone but this is something that will come to
bare with time. Everyone who knows me would know that I never try to go with
any trend or another person’s style, no matter the person.
Who or what inspired the way you
dress?
Up until now I never thought
about that. I guess I just always do my thing, because I always do what I want.
Some of your fans
are complaining about your photos that you tend to be portraying nudity. What is
the concept behind your photo shots?
I guess I am going
back to how we Africans used to dress before Western Civilization. I am an African
woman. I am an artist, I always want to share anything that I find artistic
with my people, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone understands it or
is cool with it.
