R&B singer Ms Dynamite recently confessed her pregnancy break was a bless for her, because she couldn't handle anymore the pressures of the music industry.
Dynamite, 23, remained pregnant in 2003 and put on hold her career, despite the reservations of her record label and then-boyfriend Dwayne Seaforth. She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Shavaar.
Ms. Dynamite declared: "You could tell everyone was thinking, your timing couldn't be worse, even if they didn't actually say it. I did plan it, though. Dwayne and I talked about having a baby.
"At first, he was, like, 'I don't think this is the right time for you career-wise. I don't want all these people looking at me, thinking, what have you done?
I said: 'Well, if that's the only reason not to, then we're doing it. I felt like it was the right time. Although for Ms Dynamite it wasn't, for Niomi it totally was. But now, looking back I feel for Ms Dynamite it was right, too.
I don't think I was ready to go to the States, to make it international."
