Ghanaian artiste Gyakie has resisted attempts to revisit the ordeal she went through during an attack on her manager during Portugal's 2023 Afronation festival.
She told Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz on Friday, May 23, she had to juggle her emotions, handle the situation, and maintain a positive energy to perform on stage within the same period.
She said since it was a terrible experience, she hesitates to talk about it because it opens wounds that have already been healed.
“I really wish I was able to answer this particular question at the time, because it’s like anytime I have to talk about it, it kind of opens wounds that have already been healed,” she said.
She added, “What happened, and the fact that I actually had a performance on that day, is not something I would wish on anyone. I had to prepare for the stage, and I had to experience all that happened.”
Gyakie further entreated industry players to be more cautious of challenges that are inevitable in their day-to-day engagement.
A video that went viral in July 2023 on social media showed Gyakie’s manager, Electro Mirror, being manhandled by some uniformed security personnel, to the horror of onlookers.
The video, shared by George Britton, featured George’s panicked voice in the background as he reproached the security officers for their actions.
Mirror was seen pinned to the floor while about five security men held him in a chokehold as he gasped for air.
Meanwhile, Gyakie is preparing to release her debut album after previously dropping two EPs. She has already released the first single, titled Sankofa, off the upcoming album After Midnight.
The musician has also said that she no longer entertains baseless criticism on social media.
According to her, she is open to receiving feedback that will contribute to her growth as a musician, however, she'll decide to pick and choose what comment gets her attention.
The songbird believes she cannot please everyone all the time, but for his fans, she will go all out to excite them.
“I just learn to appreciate what I feel is right because one person will say 'I don’t like the way your hair is always shorter', another person will say 'I don’t like the way your hair is long'. So it’s like what do you want me to do? I am going to do what I feel is right or what I feel my audience is going to enjoy."
"Because whatever I put out is what is gathering the people that are in my market. In the beginning, I was really allowing a lot of the bad criticism to get to me but right now I just drop the music and do exactly what I have been brought on earth to do,” she said.
Despite her decision, Gyakie says she remains very active on social media but has resolved not to read comments.
She said, comment sections used to ruin her entire week, even if she trusts herself not to be perturbed by them.
