Legendary Kenyan singer Habida has stepped into the world of entrepreneurship with the launch of her jewellery line, Verses Jewellery. The elegant launch event was attended by invited guests who came together to celebrate her latest achievement.
A Jewellery Brand Rooted in Resilience
Speaking at the launch, Habida shared the inspiration behind Verses Jewellery, revealing that it represents resilience and overcoming obstacles.
“What it stands for is resilience and overcoming. It’s not just a jewellery brand. I want to tell women that no matter what happens, you just keep moving. Keep going and don’t let anything overwhelm you. Women go through so much, and I did. When you wear any piece you’ve bought, just remember you are special. You’re amazing. And no matter what you go through, just wake up in the morning and know that you are amazing and you can do anything you put your mind to,” she passionately expressed.
Taking to social media, the “Superwoman” hitmaker posted a video from the event, saying, “I’m excited to introduce Verses Jewellery, a brand that represents resilience, strength, and overcoming challenges. Every piece is thoughtfully designed to inspire and empower. Have you viewed our catalog yet? Take a look at our latest collection and find the perfect piece that speaks to you. I’d love to help you pick something special.”
Encouraging Artists to Diversify
In an exclusive interview, Habida shared her fulfilment in achieving this milestone and urged fellow artists to venture beyond the music industry.
“It’s really fulfilling, and I’m proud of it. I want to thank my supporters who have enabled this. My message to fellow artistes is tomorrow is not assured, so make hay when the sun is high. Venture into that business you are passionate about,” she advised.
With this new venture, Habida joins the growing list of celebrities who have successfully diversified their careers by embracing business opportunities. Through Verses Jewellery, she hopes to inspire women to recognize their strength and resilience in every piece they wear.
Challenges with YouTube’s Content Policies
Prior to this launch, Habida faced a setback when YouTube restricted ads on her latest song, Tupendane. Expressing frustration, she shared a video revealing that her content had been flagged for violating YouTube’s policies. She argued that Kenyan artistes face stricter scrutiny compared to international stars like Rihanna and Beyoncé, whose more explicit videos do not seem to receive similar restrictions.
Despite the setback, Habida remains determined to push forward, using her music and business ventures as platforms to inspire and empower women.
With Verses Jewellery, the talented singer is not just making a statement in fashion but also reinforcing the message that challenges should never stop one from achieving their dreams.
