SINGER Stacy Angie Anam may not be in Akademi Fantasia (AF)’s reunion show, AF Megastar, which premiered last Sunday, but the reality show’s Season 6 winner has “strong reasons” for not participating.
“It’s not that I’m against any reunion — I would have loved to catch up with friends from the show — but I’ve been promoting my single Cakap Ke Tangan.
“Furthermore, I’ve just become a mum and I need to spend more time with my little one, Eshaal,” she said recently.
Stacy, 27, gave birth to her daughter, Eshaal Hakim on Feb 17 and is taking a break from performances.
She married fellow AF graduate Akim Ahmad, who is also the show’s Season 7 second runner-up, last year.
“Since I’ve won a season of the show, it’s time to let others to win it. Not participating doesn’t mean I don’t support the show. In fact, I’m delighted that Astro has come out with an all-stars season of AF.”
She said she might attend weekly concerts and make guest appearances on AF Megastar.
“Though I’m not in the race this time, I will follow its concerts.”
Stacy, from Sabah, who became the second female contestant to win after Mila, has served as a guest judge on the show.
AF Megastar is aired live on Astro Ria every Sunday at 8.30pm for eight weeks. By Dennis Chua
