I really didn’t want to write anything on the Ama Boahenmaa bleaching saga, which gained prominence when she recently appeared in a video interview—looking fairer than she is known to be.
Social media and many of our mainstream media houses in Ghana have been throwing all manner of jabs at the Gospel musician who sort of claims she has become fairer because she lives abroad and ridiculously, because she drinks more MILK.
She must be drinking cat milk—I guess.
My issue with the whole Ama Boahenmaa ‘bashing’ is the fact that, many of us are hitting on her with a video or photo as evidence—and because she lives abroad, I can confidently say none of our media men based in Ghana has seen her in recent times.
Yet, Yvonne Nelson walks around Accra all bleached up and also gives out the same ridiculous excuses such as; she is of a Brazilian descent and that is why she is slowly becoming fairer. Her genes are gradually noticing her Brazilian descent—and also, she uses the ordinary coco butter. She started by saying her colour has changed because of good living and the fact that she is always out and about in an air-condition car has been a huge contribution.
There is no difference between Ama Boahemaa’s absurd claims and that of Yvonne Nelson. The two are shameful bleachers with no sense of responsibilities. Yet, Yvonne Nelson walks into the offices of many media houses in Ghanan each week and none is able to boldly stamp down her excuses and tell her to the face that, you’ve bleached your butt off so stop the lies.
However, we’ve descended so heavily on Ama Boahenmaa who is thousands of miles away—perhaps simply because she is a Gospel singer—and a weaker individual, incapable of launching assaults at her critics.
Ama Boahenmaa has bleached her butt out—and so has Yvonne Nelson and the several Ghanaian young celebrities we meet every day at various events.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
If calling Yvonne Nelson out for bleaching amounts to hating, then doing the same to Ama Boahenmaa is certainly hating—at best, hypocrisy…
Quoting A-Plus, we have ‘Dansoman Broni‘ right in our faces and we are over looking that to attack on someone faraway in Europe.
Anyway, for those who have not seen Ama Boahenmaa’s recent video interview, check it out below…
