I Don’t Know How Much Of A Big Deal It Is–Gyakie Responds To Critics

According to a report by Adom FM on Monday October 19, 2026, Ghanaian singer Gyakie has responded to public comments about her decision not to follow anyone on social media, questioning why the issue has attracted so much attention.

The award-winning musician, known for her soulful vocals and hit songs, has become a prominent figure in Ghana’s music industry, with fans closely monitoring her activities both on and off the stage.

Her social media presence has also attracted attention, particularly from users who have noticed that she does not follow other accounts.

Reacting to the discussions surrounding her online activity, Gyakie appeared to downplay the significance of the matter, stating, “I don’t know how much of a big deal it is.”

Her response suggests that she does not consider her decision about whom to follow on social media to be something that should generate extensive public debate.

For many celebrities, social media has become an important tool for promoting music, connecting with fans, building professional relationships and maintaining visibility in the entertainment industry.

However, the way individual artistes choose to use these platforms varies considerably.

While some musicians follow fellow artistes, industry executives, friends and fans, others prefer to keep their online interactions limited or use their accounts primarily to share updates about their careers.

Gyakie’s position has brought renewed attention to the question of whether a celebrity’s social media habits should be treated as a measure of their relationships with other people in the entertainment industry.

The singer, whose real name is Jacqueline Acheampong, rose to international prominence with her breakout song Forever, which helped establish her as one of Ghana’s notable contemporary music talents.

Since then, she has continued to build her brand through music releases, collaborations and performances.

Beyond her musical achievements, Gyakie has also spoken about the challenges of dealing with public opinions and criticism on social media.

In previous interviews, she explained that negative comments once affected her emotionally, but she has since adopted a different approach to protecting her peace of mind.

She previously disclosed that she used to read comments under her social media posts and sometimes visit the profiles of people who criticised her to understand their reasons.

However, with time, she realised that constantly exposing herself to negative opinions could affect her mood and creativity.

The singer subsequently explained that she prefers to share her content without necessarily going through every reaction it generates.

“I don’t want to read comments any more. Right now, I just drop it and go,” she said in an earlier interview about her approach to social media criticism.

She also stressed that people have feelings and can be affected by seemingly minor remarks, regardless of how confident they may appear in public.

Her earlier comments indicate that she has become more deliberate about how she engages with online discussions, choosing to concentrate on her music rather than allowing every public reaction to influence her decisions.

The latest debate over her following list has therefore added another dimension to conversations about how public figures manage their digital identities and respond to expectations from fans and social media users.

Although social media platforms allow users to monitor the online connections of celebrities, Gyakie’s response suggests that she does not see her decision about following accounts as an issue deserving of major controversy.

For the singer, the attention surrounding the matter raises a broader question about why such a personal online choice should become a subject of public discussion.

As conversations continue, her position highlights the growing pressure on entertainers to explain even seemingly minor aspects of their online behaviour, at a time when social media activity is often closely scrutinised by fans and critics alike.
