Sassy songstress, Mzbel was on e.TV’s
The Late Nite Celebrity Show to talk on her upcoming concert on
February 7 at the National Theatre. The artist who pulled out and
boycotted the 2007 Ghana Music Awards said: “I enjoyed the controversies
as they came.
But sometimes I ask if it’s me they are talking
about. Because most often than not, what they say doesn’t reflect what I
am as a person. I’m a very calm person and I don’t lie or exaggerate
stuff. Sometimes I hear people say stuff about someone and I go like
‘wow, this person is really wild only to realize the person was talking
about me in the end’.
I’m not what people think I am; but I have
come to understand its all part of the show business and its fine. “I
felt like giving up on the music career just once in my entire career. I
was really tired with people telling lies about me.
The uproar
that followed anytime I performed was getting to me. It was new to
people for a young girl to climb a stage in a bikini. They weren’t just
comfortable a Ghanaian girl was on stage showing skin and being
comfortable about her body. “The harshest I heard was someone calling me
a walking pornography, but I was also confused with what to do because
when there was a show, the venue will be packed.
So I was
wondering if I should stop or keep going. “The response whenever I was
on stage was resounding but I walk off stage and the next day, the
newspapers and other outlets will be saying hurtful things making me
look like am an awful person. “So one time I decided to give up and go
back to TV presenting but later my manager encouraged me not to give up
on the music.
Before I could gather momentum and continue, I got
pregnant and it slowed me down a bit. The I Swear singer detailed her
plans for her upcoming Red Concert: “December 2014 marked exactly ten
years when I came into the music industry and I’m drafting a few of my
friends to help me celebrate all the hits, albums and success we have
chalked thus far. “It’s going to be the battle of the sexes where the
male artists battle it out with us the females on the bill.
“It’s happening on February 7 and would cost GHC50 and GHC70 to see VVIP, Edem and a whole lots of artists perform.”
