Anytime Mzbel is trending, it\u2019s something negative. So, it really affected me, and sometimes when I ran into trouble, instead of the media reporting me in their favour, they made it seem as if I deserved it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Media reportage about my sc*ndals was very unfavourable - Mzbel\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P2nD2GhAG3w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She attributed her grievance to how she was publicly treated by the media when she was attacked after her performance at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She expressed her displeasure with how the media treated her after she was assaulted following her performance at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2005, Mzbel was molested by a group of students of the university who had called for her to continue performing when she was done with her booked stage time. She subsequently sued the university, claiming damages to the tune of GH \u20b560,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, some media portals reported the incident negatively and blamed her as the cause of the attack instead of sympathising with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey made it look like it\u2019s because of the way I dressed, and I deserved it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This, according to the songstress, contributed hugely to her missing out on business opportunities and partnerships with companies that were initially interested in contracting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although she is not against the publication of controversial stories about celebrities, she suggests that it should be minimised for them to be able to get business deals in order to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celeb Biz is a new show that seeks to explore the entrepreneurial ventures of celebrities in Ghana and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch the full episode of the show this Saturday at 5 p.m. on Joy Prime, and hear the full gist of Mzbel\u2019s businesses aside from being famous.<\/p>\n \n                               <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n                <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                         \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghanaian Hiplife songstress Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah, popularly known as Mzbel, has expressed her disappointment with how media reports about her scandals have affected her life and career.
