She was the subject of small talk
last year when she wore a see-through dress that revealed her underwear
at the Channel O Music Video Awards held in South Africa.
Only
last week, she posted a picture of herself lying stark naked on a bed on
a social media site which raised a considerable number of eyebrows and
generated a lot of debate.
But in the middle of all the
hullabaloo, the Uncle Obama hitmaker, Deborah Vanessa, has said that she
does not mind if people see her as an attention seeker.
“Yes I
love attention; I have always loved attention since I was a kid so if
people see me as such, I have no problem with that. All I know is that
I’m me and I have to celebrate myself,” she told Showbiz.
Commenting
on her latest nude post, she said; “ that picture was among others that
were taken way back in June this year and it was not my intention to
upload it online, I didn’t post it myself but when I noticed how people
liked and re-tweeted it, I decided to let go. But truth be told, I have a
nice body so I need to celebrate it.
“Many women will do all
kinds of things to get the kind of body I have been blessed with so why
should I hide it? I have a nice skin tone, no scars, and no stretch
marks so I need to flaunt what I have been blessed with.”
Talking
about her latest single, Borla which was released two weeks ago,
Deborah Vanessa aka Sister Debbie said she chose that title because, she
wanted her music to be unique. “Borla is such a catchy word”, she said.
Eventhough
the story line of the song has a break up theme, the execution in the
video took a different turn where she used trash cans and explaining the
motive behind that, the Uncle Obama singer said; “yes, the song is a
break-up song but I decided to use a different twist in the music video
because I wanted to be different. The same message has been tackled in
the same way over and over again and I did not want to toe the same
line”.
Deborah Vanessa Owusu-Bonsu was born on 25 August 1984 in
Ghana to an Ashanti father and a Romanian mother. She is a television
show host, model and musician.
She attended Christ the King
International School, then Wesley Girls' High School and graduated with a
