Jackson K Bentum has had enough of the questions.
The Kumawood director, known for shaping Ghana’s film industry, is drawing a line when it comes to his daughter, singer Yaa Jackson. After years of public scrutiny surrounding her fashion and music, Bentum is making it clear: he’s not the one calling the shots.
In a recent interview with Poleeno Multimedia, he addressed the wave of criticism that often lands at his feet whenever Yaa Jackson trends for her bold style or controversial lyrics. His message was firm — she’s not a child, and she’s not under his control.
Yaa Jackson, who began her career as a child actress, has evolved into a pop culture figure with a distinct brand. That brand, Bentum says, is managed by professionals. He’s no longer involved in her career decisions, and he’s not interested in defending choices he didn’t make.
The director’s comments come as a reminder that parental influence has its limits — especially when the child in question is a grown woman with her own team and trajectory. For Bentum, the constant questioning isn’t just misplaced — it’s outdated.
