Ghanaian filmmaker, Bentum Jackson, has said that he’ll support his daughter’s music career even if she has to show off her body part to promote her song.
The Filmmaker said his daughter, Yaa Jackson, is not a gospel artiste and an entertainer is meant to be daring.
Bentum Jackson made this statement in an interview with PeaceFM, Ghana Web reports.
The proud father said;
“I support her and whatever she says in interviews. I support it because it is business. If she had chosen to be a pastor and she was saying what she says, then I’ll be angry, but as it is, this is how entertainment is supposed to be and she is doing just that.
“After all, she is not a gospel artiste. In this industry, if she decides to stay calm, maybe no one will mind her”.
Mr Bentum said his daughter is creative enough to get media attention.
“We already know how the entertainment industry is. There was one producer who went to premiere his movie somewhere but he did not get the media attention, so, he decided to steal from a shop nearby. What he stole was not even up to $5.
“He was arrested and when quizzed, he confessed that he did not get the attention he needed for his movie premier but news of the theft has given him the media attention he needs to premier his movie. So, sometimes in the entertainment industry, you have to be creative to get attention for people to be aware of you.”
He also pleaded with Ghanaians not to blame his daughter because she has been coached to do what she does.
“She’s being instructed to do so, and she has to do it so we have to understand her. It’s all part of the entertainment, so, I don’t have any problem with it.”
The “Tear rubber” singer was recently reprimanded by a section of Ghanaians on social media for disclosing in an interview that her ex-boyfriend is a Member of Parliament and also that she lives an expensive lifestyle.
