I'm Not An 'Idiot'! Keep My Name Out Of Your Mouths - Wiyaala Roars
Singer Wiyaala has issued a strong warning to entertainment commentators and her colleague players in Ghana's entertainment industry to keep her name out of their discussions on showbiz issues in the country.
Sharing a video on her Instagram page, the singer was very irritated that some entertainment analysts choose to make her a topic of the day.
She mentioned names like Arnold Asamoah Baidoo and warned him and others to stop discussing her on entertainment programmes because they don't count her as relevant to Ghana's entertainment industry.
According to her, she is not an ''idiot'' and wouldn't want to be taken for granted by those who have decided to poke their noses in the affairs of every artiste in the country.
''If I don't really count in this industry or if I don't count or I have never been counted as part of this industry, then don't discuss me when you're talking about the showbiz or show business in Ghana. You can't always mention my name and turn around say 'oh shout to Wiyaala but she doesn't really count because she and her manager are concentrating abroad, doing international stuff.''
She asked; Why won't I concentrate there? Why won't I do that? Why? And then the music industry is dead because Kakie, Ebony and Mzvee, all of sudden are no more doing music. You can always call them back. Can't you?
Wiyaala also believes she is not appreciated because she doesn't show her naked skin or misbehave herself.
''Since the rest of us you think are not controversial enough. We're not showing skin enough. We're not insulting each other enough. We're attacking each other enough so that you can get something to write and then you can take us to the slaughter house or take me into the slaughter house, divide me into pieces, say all kinds or manner of things about me or us.
''You think some of us are idiots? We should come and fool because we want to win Artiste of the Year and then what next? What do we get from that? In Ghana, there are no royalties...So, some of us might not be the most intelligent but we do have brains to understand that when you do foolish songs just because you want to get attention and win some few awards, you're actually fooling yourself or when you try to get involved in this kind of industry that it doesn't really make sense'', she fumed.
The multi-talented singer further stated emphatically, whether any person likes it or not, she is an ''artiste forever'' and her music will live on even in her grave.
''I am not here to win Artiste of the Year because I am not an Artiste of the Year kind of musician. I am an artiste for ever and ever and ever. Even when I'm dead, you'll still hear my music in your grave!'', she exclaimed.
