Candy Bleakz Reveals Losing YBNL Princess To Temmie Ovwasa
Singer Candy Bleakz has opened up about a missed opportunity in her career, disclosing that she was on the verge of becoming the YBNL Princess in 2015 before losing out to Temmie Ovwasa.
During a recent appearance on the TV programme “Trending,” hosted by reality star KimOprah, Candy Bleakz expressed her disappointment at being passed over for the coveted role within the YBNL Nation record label.
She recounted the moment when label boss Olamide, popularly known as Baddo, introduced Temmie Ovwasa instead of her.
“The day Baddo unveiled Temmie Ovwasa, she is my friend but I was really sad. I was supposed to be the YBNL Princess. I was like, ‘Why did they sign someone else?'” she lamented.
In addition to discussing her missed opportunity, Candy Bleakz shed light on the challenges faced by female artists in Nigeria. She highlighted the societal pressure to conform to certain standards of beauty and sexuality, regardless of talent.
“For a female artist, when you’re pretty it’s a problem, when you’re ugly it’s a problem. When you’re too sexy it’s an issue and when you are not it’s an issue. Because I’m bringing something to the table but you will see comments like, ‘She’s not fine. She’s not dressing sexy. And at the same time, when she is fine they would want her to bring something to the table,” she expressed.
Candy Bleakz’s candid revelations provide insight into the complexities of navigating the music industry as a female artist in Nigeria, where talent often takes a backseat to superficial expectations.

Eva stressed that most men do not recognize or address this issue, further exacerbating the situation.
She said: “So when are we going to finally talk about the fact that so many women are facing brutal S3xual dissatisfaction in their marriages, and most men do not even care to learn why or how to help?
“A well-loved and deeply f3cked woman is a happy woman who will not stray”.
Her statement led to series of remarks on social media, with one fan arguing that cheating is a matter of personal character, independent of sexual satisfaction.
The fan tweeted: “This is like saying a well f3cked man will never cheat on his woman.
“A cheat is a cheat. If you like f3ck every day for 5 hours. They will still find a way to cheat”.
Eva responded by acknowledging that while cheating can indeed stem from individual traits, she clarified that women and men typically cheat for different reasons.
She wrote: “A cheat is a cheat. This is true. Womën and men cheat for completely different reasons, do you know that?”
