“When she went for The Voice, how many of you know she went for The Voice, she was an inspiration for Matthew to also go for The Voice. Nobody really knew her even after The Voice, and just last year, she began to rise and come into the limelight.
“On the 3rd she had a production, on the 14th she had another production, and on the 15th she also had a production. Apart from music, she was also going into acting, and there is no way you would test Ifunanya and then start looking for somebody else.”
