Whitney Boakye-Mensah, an entertainment pundit, has recently spoken out against the harmful trend of slut shaming in female beef songs while criticizing Sista Afia for his latest diss song against Efia Odo.
Boakye-Mensah argues that this kind of language and behavior is not only unacceptable but also perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes and contributes to a culture of misogyny.
Female beef songs, which typically involve women rappers or singers dissing each other in their lyrics, have become increasingly popular in recent years.
However, many of these songs rely on sexist and derogatory language, with artists often targeting each other’s sexual behavior, appearance, and personal lives.
Boakye-Mensah condemns this kind of language, stating that it is not only hurtful and demeaning but also serves to pit women against each other.
Instead of lifting each other up and celebrating their differences, these songs perpetuate harmful gender norms and reinforce damaging attitudes towards women’s bodies and sexuality.
Moreover, Boakye-Mensah emphasizes that this kind of language is not just harmless banter but has real-world consequences.
It contributes to a culture where women are constantly policed, shamed, and judged for their choices, perpetuating systemic gender-based violence and discrimination.
Boakye-Mensah urges artists and listeners alike to rethink the language and themes used in these songs, advocating for a more inclusive and respectful approach to female empowerment.
Meanwhile she called the latest diss song by Sista Afia as old, childish and cheap during an appearance on UTV monitored by News & Vibes.
