Princess Akua Ohenewaa Asieanem, also known as Stephanie Benson, has lashed out at some female Ghanaian celebrities for ‘disturbing’ audience at red carpet events with their low-cost Chinese dresses.

According to UK based Ghanaian singer, she wears very expensive dresses, therefore her Ghanaian colleagues must not dare compare their £200 inferior costumes to hers on red carpet.

The international singer and performer has come under fire for wearing see-through dress to the Ghana Music Honours recently.

However, reacting to her critics, the queen of Jazz, stated that her dress was purposefully designed to give an illusory effect of wearing nothing underneath.

The pop and jazz artiste in her comment hit back at her critics, insisting that they can’t compare their Chinese made dresses to her designer wears.

“The see-through dress I wore to the Ghana Music Honours was a custom made for such dress, you can’t go to a shop and find another one like it," she said.

“I’m not like those people who go to China and go and buy clothes… I don’t go and spend £200 on that dress from China and flaunt it on the red carpet and compare it to mine,” the singer reportedly fired at her critics on Hit FM.

The singer in her conversation maintained that although she has got very expensive wardrobe, she doesn’t want to boost about them in public.

“I’m sorry I’m sounding arrogant but sometimes I think I need to. I’ve been very nice about how I am. I’ve got an extensive wardrobe but we will talk about most of them behind the scene,” she said.

Stephanie also added that, “I can pick anything that I do want to wear it’s just because I’m so free and I love fashion.”

 

Early life


Benson was born and raised in Ghana to wealthy, royal parents; a pharmaceutical millionaire and his fourth wife named Queen Nana Boahemah II who had seventeen children.

Her music career began at the age of three when she started learning how to play the piano and later added on the violin and cello when she was enrolled at the National Academy of Music at the age of eight.

She became interested in playing the piano after her father often played the instrument to her before bedtime.

Following her father's death when she was fourteen, she moved to London, United Kingdom to explore life in a different part of the world.

During her stay in London, she channeled her energy into playing the piano under the watchful eye of her uncle and later got a residency singing and playing in one of the famous nightclubs in London.
