Sultry
singer, Mzbel, may have developed a thick skin for criticisms of some
of her actions which are deemed controversial and has resolved
henceforth not to bow to pressure or allow herself to be intimidated
from being an eye candy and freely expressing herself.
In a
career that has thrived as much on her cheeky craft as a web of
controversy, a recent semi-nude photo of Mzbel posted on her Instagram
page has attracted yet another public backlash over what critics
described as indecent exposure.
Nonetheless, the Legelege artiste
says such hypocritical criticisms of her risqué personality would not
stop her from flaunting her beautiful curves.
A defiant Mzbel
told Showbiz on Monday that she would continue to flaunt her body
because she is sexy and such a shapely body cannot be hidden from the
“viewing pleasure” of the public.
“I want my critics to know that
my brand stands for sexiness and this is what I have been projecting
since I started doing music over a decade ago. What I post online is for
official purposes and besides, I don’t walk in town naked.
“I am
tired of the hypocrisy of Ghanaians and how they tend to read meanings
into everything I do. What is wrong with the picture I posted?
“Of
late, I have decided not to give ears to what people say or think about
me. I won’t be bothered at all because I know I have got a sexy body
even after child birth and will continue to flaunt it,” she added.
She
explained that the controversial photograph which attracted the huge
backlash last Friday was a random picture of a photo shoot for a
billboard advert she took for a company and did not expect such a
hostile reaction from the public.
But those raunchy shots are
likely to be shelved from their intended purpose as they might not go up
on any billboard because of disapproval from the father of the
artiste’s two-year-old son, Aaron.
The smart character she is,
the artiste disclosed to Showbiz she opted to enter into a deal to drop
the photographs and forgo the advert.
“My baby’s daddy doesn’t
support the idea but I have told him that this is part of my job as an
artiste. We have come to an agreement that if he can offer me the fee
I’m taking for the endorsement deal, I will back out. But I also want to
do it because I want to inspire many young ladies out there that, you
can still have a sexy body after birth if you take good care of
yourself,” she said.
Known in private life as Belinda Nana Akua
Amoah, Mzbel returned to the showbiz scene in February this year after a
maternity break with the launch of her Red Carpet Show — her comeback
show — only to be entangled in a web of controversies.
First, her
public disclaimer on TV3’s Restoration Show, of the existence of Jesus
Christ, attracted a huge public backlash, but that wasn’t enough to
sober the young mother who had claimed motherhood had made her more
mature and tempered her dress sense. But it appears the old Mzbel is
back on the block and with vengeance.
In May this year, she
courted trouble again after releasing the Help Stop Dumsor song and even
before the dust settled on that matter, Mzbel was confronted again by
the unending issue about the identity of her son’s father.
For
now, the Awoso Me hit maker is taking a lead in a campaign to educate
Ghanaians on the need to conserve energy with her Help Stop Dumsor
project which has Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), GRIDCO and Volta
River Authority as sponsors.
Mzbel, who is known for songs such
as Akua, 16 Years and Onye Ogbemi said she hopes her project would yield
better results in the conservation of energy in the country. |
