It\u2019s \u2018Ayoo\u2019, Taking Over and Freedom, making it 3 hits. Ebony has \u2018Poison\u2019, \u2018Sponsor\u2019, \u2018Date your Father, \u2018Hustle\u2019 and \u2018Maame Hw3\u2019; I mean let\u2019s be real, Shatta, if it was like last year and last two years he would be right but now, I don\u2019t think so\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ebony is usually critized for what many say is her lack of talent, and believe her showing skin on stage and in music videos is to push attention from her untalented self.<\/p>\n<p>In July 2017, her dad was forced to defend her daughter in an interview with Graphic Showbiz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am supportive of anything my daughter does and anything she wears. I am not ashamed as a father, the truth is that, I choose what she wears and I bless her before she goes out to perform. Some Ghanaians are hypocrites and I am sorry but I am not one of them,\u201d explained Mr. Kwarteng.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not bothered at all. The reason is simple, I know my daughter than anyone else. What people see out there is what we want them to see and that is because she is an artiste and needs a brand that will sell. For God\u2019s sake, she is a Dancehall artiste and she wears what will make her feel confident when performing on stage. Something that will depict the genre of music and songs she churns outs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qxib637pjQ8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He shared his thoughts on the the perception that his daughter is \u201cbad\u201d girl.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy daughter is not a bad girl, she is very calm, loving and a respectful person. Whatever she does on stage ends there. She is a different person when she gets home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also spoke about the relationship between himself and his \u201cgirl as I usually call her is close to my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so close that I gave her the go ahead when she told me she wanted to do music. Initially I questioned her decision because, she is a very intelligent girl and was doing extremely well in school and every parent will want his or her child to get to the top of the highest academic ladder. But she insisted music was what she wanted to do. Music is where her heart is and I gave her my blessings. I couldn\u2019t have stopped her because these children are smart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Born Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, her song \u2018Kupe\u2019 helped her gain mainstream attention in the Ghanaian music industry.<\/p>\n<p>She scored two nominations at the 2017 Ghana Music Awards: Dancehall Artiste of the Year and Best Reggae\/ Dancehall Song of the Year . <\/p>\n<p>Ebony is signed to Rufftown Records.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 26 updated by: 26 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 23 January 2018 Source: livefmghana.com 2018-01-23 Ebony Reigns Shatta Wale\u2019s claim that he will win \u2018Artiste of the Year\u2018 over Ebony if nominated is unfounded because the latter had more hits during the year under review.
