Actress Serwaa Telemo recently clarified her statement about twerking for Christ, explaining that it was merely a tactic to garner attention within the entertainment industry.
Addressing the controversy surrounding her previous remarks, Serwaa emphasized the role of entertainment in shaping public perception. She admitted to making provocative statements with the intention of attracting attention, a common strategy employed in the industry.
“When I mentioned twerking for Christ, it was simply to grab people’s attention. Entertainment can be misunderstood if you’re not familiar with it. Sometimes, we say things to captivate audiences, and that’s exactly what I did.”
Serwaa expressed frustration over the misconceptions surrounding her body, particularly how it is perceived as sinful by some individuals. She pointed out the double standard, noting that dancing in church would likely be accepted, yet her natural physique is often stigmatized.
“My body shape is inherited from my mother, it’s natural. But people label me as a prostitute simply because of it. If I were dancing in church, no one would complain.”
