In a media landscape where image often overshadows artistry, veteran highlife musician Akosua Agyapong is calling for a shift — especially among younger entertainers like Yaa Jackson. Her recent remarks, delivered during a radio interview, centered on the importance of originality, discipline, and cultural pride in shaping a sustainable career.
Agyapong acknowledged the growing influence of emerging female artistes who are blending highlife elements into their music, a move she sees as vital to preserving Ghana’s sonic heritage. But her message went beyond genre appreciation.
She challenged Yaa Jackson to align her public persona with the values she claims to admire, urging her to focus on self-definition rather than imitation.
The commentary arrives at a time when Yaa Jackson’s lifestyle choices — from provocative fashion to bold social media antics — continue to stir debate. While some fans celebrate her confidence, others question whether her brand distracts from her talent.
Agyapong’s perspective reframes the conversation: success in entertainment isn’t just about visibility, but about the legacy one builds. She pointed to her own journey as proof that staying grounded and avoiding unnecessary drama can lead to longevity in the industry.
There’s also a hint of possibility. Agyapong expressed openness to collaborating with Jackson in the future, but suggested that such a partnership would require a shared sense of artistic integrity and presentation.
Her remarks have reignited conversations about mentorship, image, and the evolving role of women in Ghana’s entertainment space — especially those navigating the tension between cultural expectations and personal expression.
