Ghanaian Media Personality and Entertainment Pundit, MC Yaa Yeboah, has voiced her disappointment over the use of derogatory slurs in public feuds between celebrities.
In a recent discussion on Accra-based Neat FM, she specifically criticized musicians Sista Afia and Efia Odo for resorting to name-calling in their ongoing conflict.
MC Yaa Yeboah argued that being involved in multiple personal relationships does not justify labeling someone as a “prostitute.”
She emphasized that such derogatory terms are harmful and misrepresent a person's character.
“If I am romantically involved with someone, we break up, I get involved with another person and it also ends, is that a reason to be labelled a prostitute?” she questioned.
“Such labels do not define a person’s character and celebrities, especially females, should avoid perpetuating negative stereotypes and focus on facts rather than insults”
MC Yaa Yeboah expressed her dismay over the public exchange between Sista Afia and Efia Odo, stating that their actions tarnish each other's reputations.
“It disappoints me that Sista Afia and Efia Odo can resort to such slurs. You can say it’s good for the media attention, but in the process, you are tarnishing each other’s reputation,” she remarked.
“It hurts me that when women are having a feud, they go about labelling each other as ‘ashawo’ and all that. That doesn’t define anybody, just stick to facts.”
The renewed feud between Sista Afia and Efia Odo has garnered significant media attention and public reaction.
The latest clash began when a bikini photo of Sista Afia was mistakenly identified as Efia Odo, leading to a series of insults. Sista Afia called Efia Odo an “industry machine,” implying her alleged associations with multiple male artists.
In response, Efia Odo made derogatory comments about Sista Afia’s appearance and business ventures.
The animosity between the two dates back to 2019, involving accusations and body-shaming. Despite a public reconciliation attempt in 2020, their relationship remains strained.
MC Yaa Yeboah’s comments highlight the need for more respectful and constructive dialogue among celebrities, emphasizing that personal attacks only serve to harm reputations and perpetuate negative stereotypes.
