It’s so old, childish and cheap - Whitney Boakye-Mensah on new Sista Afia diss song

Whitney Boakye-Mensah, an entertainment pundit and event organizer has described a recent diss song released by Sista Afia for Efia Odo in their ongoing lyrical war as old, childish and cheap.

Speaking as a panellist on UTV's United Showbiz hosted by MzGee, the pundit explained that it is problematic for female artistes to employ slut shaming as their first weapon in a beef song.

According to her, the degrading weapon of slut shaming has been used severally by men against women and the act should not be encouraged and perpetuated by women also.

She believes that Sista Afia’s diss song which is big on slut shaming Efia Odo is cheap, childish and an old style of beefing.

She explained, “To get women go into the gutters about beautiful face, their sex organs and all that… haven’t men done that enough already to us women?

“Why should the first point of call for a woman to another woman in a beef song be to slut shame her? The moment you go on that tangent you’ve lost.”

Whitney Boakye-Mensah is of the view that Sista Afia should have listed her achievements in the music industry and beyond in her song

She said, “What I was expecting from Sista Afia, such an intelligent and beautiful girl was to actually do a diss song listing her achievements toe-to-toe and dare Efia Odo to do same.

“This style of beef where you expose who your opponent has had sexual relations with is so old, it’s so childish and it’s so cheap.

"Even more important is how this type of song fuels already established perceptions that women in the music and entertainment industry sleep their way to the top.”
