"God puts me in a position to interact with so many women. When I go to work, travel, my friends both married and unmarried and I realize one thing is common; they are being disrespected.

"On the low they may speak about it but they are really scared because in this country, a woman has to be married regardless of whether you are violated or not treated right. Personally, I'm coming up and I'm not going to stop. I'm going to fight for the ladies through music because I know what it means to be in such relationships," Sheebah told Spark TV.
