Nigerian Afro-Trap artist Ms. Jorji has ignited fresh conversation after declaring she masturbates every day.
The US-based singer, born Independence Jorji Akuoma, made the statement during a recent appearance on the Echo Room podcast.
"I masturbate everyday, because it's part of my body routine. It’s really healthy for you," she said, framing the practice as essential self-care.
Known for her bold "African Bad Girl" persona and tracks like "Shake It," Ms. Jorji has built a reputation for unfiltered views on sexuality and relationships. She previously embraced the "Presidential Ashawo" label, rejecting traditional notions of a "good woman" and emphasizing financial independence.
Her latest comments come amid ongoing scrutiny of her outspoken lifestyle. Critics on social media have accused her of promoting promiscuity that undermines family values in Nigeria's conservative society.
Supporters, however, praise her honesty. Many highlight double standards, noting men rarely face similar backlash for discussing sexual habits.
Reactions poured in quickly on X. One user called it "pure self-love," while others celebrated the normalization of sexual health talks.
This is not Ms. Jorji's first controversy. She has publicly criticized actresses like Regina Daniels, labeling situations involving her husband as predatory. Such stances have earned her both fans and fierce detractors.
As an engineer-turned-artist from Imo State, Ms. Jorji continues to challenge expectations in the music industry. Her approach prioritizes personal freedom over public approval.
Whether viewed as empowerment or excess, her words reflect a growing push for open dialogue on women's bodies and autonomy in African entertainment circles. The full episode dropped on YouTube, drawing significant early attention.
The debate underscores broader tensions between modern self-expression and traditional norms. Ms. Jorji shows no signs of softening her message.
