Rebecca Acheampong, aka Becca
Is Becca practicing discrimination or female chauvinism? Female singers all over the world have championed
or advocated for feminism directly or indirectly
through their music.
Great singers like Madonna, Whitney Houston,
Celine Dion, Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys, Jennifer
Lopez, Beyoncé, Rihanna and even in Africa,
Mariam Makeba, Brenda Fase and our very own Akosua
Agyapong, have several songs which glorify women
and how powerful they are.
Ghanaian Afro Pop singer Becca is one female
Ghanaian artiste known for projecting the female
gender in her songs. Her first and biggest hit
song “You Lied to Me” which featured Kwabena
Kwabena and her latest hit single “African
Woman” tells it all. Becca has always stood for
feminism, but Peacefmonline.com can
authoritatively confirm that the “Daa ke daa”
hit maker has taken the whole women empowerment
thing to the level of ‘discriminating’ against
her male fans and well-wishers.
Peacefmonline.com investigations reveal that Becca
is planning an all-female concert this Christmas
for solely her female audience. According to
sources, unlike the “Red Lipstick All Female
Concert” which allowed both men and women to
attend the show, Becca’s event forbids the
presence of any man, be it a family member, fan or
friend at the auditorium.
IT’S AN ALL-FEMALE AFFAIR.
Of course it has raised several eye brows with
some of her male fans quite outrage (and
particularly so, since they support her music by
buying her CDs), when details of the upcoming
concert leaked. Her male followers feel they
equally deserve the chance of watching her perform
on stage. No wonder some members of the male
gender are threatening to buy tickets and storm
the venue on that day to watch her perform,
‘ban’ or ‘no ban’.
According to deep throat sources, the said show is
Becca’s own event being put together by her
management, EKB Records, with support from other
female artistes. The event is dubbed “The Becca
Girl Talk Live Concert” and it is expected to
come off at the National Theatre on Friday,
December 23, 2011,.
“No Guys, No Boyfriends, No Men….This Is The
Ultimate Girls Night Out”, is the programme’s
catch-phrase, and information gleaned by
Peacefmonline.com indicates that the show will
feature an all-female Production crew including a
female Events Director, Producer, female MCs among
others. Source - Peacefmonline
