Comments spark controversy during podcast appearance
During the conversation, Ms Jorji said, “I love being called a whore. Ashwo. I’m presidential with it. I’m presidential ashwo. Make sure election day, vote president. Na me be that.”
The host reacted by suggesting she was presenting promiscuity as a form of empowerment, saying, “It sounds to me like you’re saying promiscuity is a power.”
“It is,” she replied.
When challenged further, the host added, “But that doesn’t sound right,” prompting her to respond, “How does it not sound right? But it’s ok for men?”
The host countered, “Nobody says it’s okay for men. But I’m saying for women, is it good?”
Singer rejects conventional expectations of womanhood
Ms Jorji went on to reject traditional expectations placed on women, saying, “I’m not a good woman. I think my life and my choices let me know that I wasn’t built to be a good woman. I was built to be what I am, a bad woman. A bad woman, Horrible, Evil.”
She added, “I swear to God, I never, never, not one day have I ever woken up and been good.”
Explaining her outlook, she stated, “It means I don’t give a shit what anyone has to say. I look at men as good pair of shoes. Money is the only thing I worship. I’m gonna open my church next year. It’s called Money Congregation.”
She further said, “The only thing I care about is money. If a man wants to talk to me, he has to spend money,” adding, “I will never fuck for free. That’s your mom’s job.”
