Ghanaian Afro-fusion singer Gyakie has expressed regret over how she answered some interview questions early in her music career.
Reflecting on her early days, she admitted that some of her responses were childish and wished she had approached them differently.
“There were certain things I said in some interviews when I was 19-20 years old, when I first entered the industry, that I wish I had answered differently. At that age, that was how my brain was working, and I allowed myself to be who I was at that time,” she told Doreen Avio in an interview on Daybreak Hitz.
Gyakie also opened up about dealing with hate speech and negative comments.
“After ‘Forever’ dropped, I literally opened up and let the negative comments get to me. I used to read every single comment and even checked the person’s page to understand why they said such things. During that ‘Forever’ period, I was struggling in the studio, looking for the next song to drop that would match its success,” she said.
The singer revealed how she has since embraced self-motivation to overcome these challenges.
“Now, I post my music without reading comments or opening myself up to negativity. I had to speak to myself and just focus on making the music. If a song is meant to blow up, it will. As long as it’s good music, just drop it,” she added.
