Kisa: I Wish Men Will Leave Me Alone

She called attention to herself  when her photos hit the media last year and she described herself as a lady with “enviable curves”.

But actress and musician, Kisa Gbekle, seems not to have anticipated the backlash she has been receiving since then.

“Yes, I posted the pictures myself and stated that I was blessed with curves that other women will do anything to possess but the fact that I did that doesn’t mean I am irresponsible”, she said in an interview with Showbiz.

“I am not a bad girl as some people are taking me to be. Sometimes, when I go on social media, the comments are just too much. For a couple of months now, I have been receiving messages from men, some of whom  call me all kinds of names. Others are even so blunt to ask me how much I will take for a night. This is just too much.”

Asked if she had regretted posting such pictures and creating such a unfortunate tag for herself, she said; “no I do not regret any actions of mine. I wasn’t forced to do that, I did that out of my own will, but that does not justify people putting me in a particular box and I refuse to fit into that box. If everybody is judged and stigmatized by what they put out there then this world be a hell of a place to live.

“That is not to say that people do not have right to express their opinion rather they should not take advantage of someone’s acts and push them into a certain corner. How can you inbox me and ask such a question?” she added.

“We’re into is showbiz and everything I put out there, is purely on showbiz terms therefore, what we put out there is not who we are. It is time Ghanaians get to understand that so that they do not marry these two together. I am not a bad girl.” 

Even though the release of her two singles; Twerk and Anaconda did not make much impact, Kisa is not ready to let go of her dream of pursuing music.

“I am not backing down with my music, I believe that there is time for everything, I love music and the fact that I didn’t make headlines with these songs doesn’t mean I will give up. I am currently working on another single which will hit the market soon.”

Movies Kisa has featured include Accra Runs, 8PM, The Will, Accra Hustler and The Miser TV series.

Kisa started acting in secondary school in various stage dramas and according to her, she always came out as the best actress in such school programmes.

Upon completion, she joined the Volta Regional Theatre group and gradually learned the ropes of the profession. From there, she enrolled into Ghallywood Academy and completed as one of the overall best students.
