Ghanaian musician Sista Afia has expressed her frustration over the lack of support from some female artistes, accusing them of not reciprocating her kind gestures.
In an interview with DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz, she revealed her disappointment in female artistes who benefit from her but fail to promote her music.
“Don’t ever do shows and call me. They know themselves,” she said.
Beyond this, Sista Afia also spoke about the struggles of female artistes in Ghana and how their efforts often go unappreciated.
“I mean, I’ll speak for myself; I can’t speak for everyone. I see that I work tirelessly; I work more than everyone, especially Adey grind waaa, and I need this thing. I’m somebody that needs it; it’s like without music, there’s no Sista Afia. And when it comes to hardworking female artistes, not like I’m blowing my own horns, but it’s facts, it’s there. I’ve had shows; where haven’t I been? It’s just that people have not paid attention.
“I don’t sleep; I sleep like 3 hours and almost 4 hours, then I’m back to business. I hardly sleep. Right now, I feel like it’s time to talk. It’s so sad that people don’t really see the work you put in, and that hurts me,” she told DJ Slim.
Sista Afia is now taking steps to change her approach to publicity and branding. She acknowledged that being in the industry has helped her grow and is willing to adapt to make her brand more successful.
She is currently out with a new song titled Krekete Soja, featuring Amerado.
