Yaa Jackson, the Ghanaian actress and singer known for her daring fashion and bold presence on social media, continues to stir public debate. Over time, she has drawn heavy criticism for her provocative photos and unconventional style, with many questioning whether her lifestyle aligns with traditional Ghanaian values.
Now, for the first time, her father—acclaimed filmmaker Jackson K. Bentum—has publicly addressed the growing criticism surrounding his daughter. Speaking during an interview on SeanCity TV with Ruthy and Busumuru Sean Kingston, the veteran director made it clear that his daughter is an adult who makes her own decisions.
“She’s over 18,” he noted, implying that she is free to chart her own path. He explained that Yaa Jackson isn’t acting recklessly, but rather is immersed in the entertainment world with a management team guiding her career moves. According to him, much of her public image—including the bold fashion and edgy content—is part of her brand strategy within the competitive showbiz arena.
However, Mr. Bentum also revealed a lesser-known transformation in Yaa’s personal life. Since becoming a mother, she has reportedly toned down her once-provocative image. He shared that even on set, she now refuses to wear certain revealing costumes, a change he attributes to the maturity and responsibility that motherhood has brought into her life.
Despite the criticism, Yaa Jackson’s father remains supportive, pointing out that behind the fame and headlines is a young woman who’s growing, evolving, and taking her role as a mother seriously.
