Ghanaian singer Sefa has publicly backed Cina Soul after the latter faced criticism over her outfit in a dance promo video.
The discussion, which took place on Max TV, saw a female host and male panelists scrutinizing Cina’s choice of clothing instead of focusing on her music. Sefa, clearly displeased with the conversation, took to social media to express her thoughts on how female artists in Ghana are often subjected to unfair judgment.
In a series of tweets, she called out the dynamics of the discussion, particularly highlighting the role of the female host. *“It’s the woman sitting there for me, laughing while men dissect another woman’s body and career on live TV,”* she wrote. She questioned why such conversations continue to take precedence over meaningful discussions about an artist’s craft and contribution to the industry. “What right do you have to sit on national television and reduce an artist’s hard work to her outfit?”
Sefa further emphasized how female artists in Ghana are held to different standards compared to their male counterparts. She pointed out that rather than being celebrated for their music and efforts, women in the industry are frequently judged based on their appearance. “This is the reality in Ghana, where female artists are constantly judged instead of supported. Every move is scrutinized, every choice questioned, but this is ART. Art is self-expression, movement, and creativity,” she stated.
She went on to challenge the mindset that often leads to such scrutiny, urging people to shift their focus toward supporting artists rather than tearing them down. “Instead of tearing people down, why not celebrate those striving to build something for themselves?” Sefa’s comments have sparked further discussions on the way female musicians are treated in Ghana, with many agreeing that there is a need for change.
As an artist who has also faced criticism for her appearance and fashion choices, Sefa’s remarks carry significant weight. Her stance highlights the ongoing double standards within the music industry, where women are often judged more for their looks than for their talent and hard work.
