However, Adesua during an interview with Hip TV said she understands the fact that there are people who find it difficult to open their minds about accepting an individual’s new journey.

Notwithstanding the challenges, the actress noted that she would be patient to win over anyone that needs convincing about her music journey.

She said: “Obviously it’s been half and half. Obviously there are people that appreciate the start of a new journey but I also understand that when people know you doing one thing, it’s kinda hard for them to open their minds to the fact that you’re trying to do something else.

But all these things take time and I am patient enough to win over anybody that needs convincing, and guess what? Not everybody is going to be convinced and that’s okay too. Everybody is not for everybody.”
