Few entertainers have the privilege of going by one name: Cher. Prince. Beyoncé. And then there’s Sade. Born Helena Folsade Adu, Sade spent her early years in Nigeria before moving to England with her mother at age four. Her nickname, which eventually became her stage name, originated in Nigeria as a shortened version of her middle name.
