Award-winning singer, Yaa Jackson, has disclaosed that she single handedly funds and music craft.
Responding to a question by Zionfelix in an interview on YouTube, "Who invests in your craft right now?
Yaa Jackson said, "Nobody, it is just me and my big brother. I am trying my best to work with what I can afford."
The Ghanaian actress also opened up about her spiritual life, revealing a side many might not expect of her.
Jackson says, she is an extremely religious person but that side of her life is only a preview to those in her close circles.
"When you get close to me I have a personal life that people don't know about it because they are not close to me. I might even be righteous more than those who critize me. Let me say I am even more religious than some people."
"Sometimes the pastors we respect so much because we consider them more closer to God, can surprise us with their shortcomings," sh told Zionfelix.
The Afrobeat and highlife singer has slammed critics who condemn her style of dressing.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Yaa Jackson noted that she is not perturbed by the opinions of people, adding that she doesn't dress to express anyone.
“Oh, the comments! I’m not worried about what people say about my style. Fashion is subjective, and I’m all about being true to myself. If people love it, great! If not, that’s okay too.
“I won’t change for someone else’s idea of style. Besides, on an ordinary day, you will not see Yaa Jackson dressed like that,” she stated.
Yaa Jackson rose to fame as an actress and is now balancing her career between acting and music.
According to her, music allows her to express her emotions and ideas than acting does.
“Honestly, I love both music and acting. I think they’re both forms of storytelling, just in different ways. Right now, I’m leaning more towards music because it allows me to express myself in a personal and raw way. However, I will continue to explore both passions,” she added.
Meanwhile, her father, Jackson K. Bentum, has responded to ongoing public scrutiny over the social life of his daughter.
A section of Ghanaians has asserted that her social lifestyle does not align with the cultural expectations of a young Ghanaian woman.
According to him, “She’s over 18 now. There’s little I can do to control her choices.”
Yaa Jackson's father believes that all her daughter is putting up in the public eye is meant to contribute to building a solid brand for herself.
“It’s part of the branding. It’s the business of entertainment,” he emphasised.
Contrary to Yaa Jackson's social reputation, Mr Bentum revealed that his daughter has become a different person behind the scenes ever since she assumed the role of a mother.
“Even when we’re on set, she no longer agrees to wear those revealing outfits. Motherhood has changed her a lot,” Mr. Bentum shared.
