I Will Never Forget My Roots – Wiyaala

Despite her international success, the popular Ghanaian singer says she will always stay true to herself and her community.

“I chose to adhere to what God had given me, even though it was difficult, and some people attempted to persuade me to close the gap between my teeth since it wasn’t sellable, but I simply kept going.”

Wiyaala, a Ghanaian Afro-pop singer, has remarked that shattering stereotypes and remaining true to herself and her tribe were crucial in her rise to popularity.

On Asaase Radio’s Accra-Lagos-Joburg weekend entertainment show, the Sun and Moon hitmaker said, “I am delighted that I have been able to stay loyal to myself.”

“I’ve seen the world, yet when I return to my hometown, I’m the same person.” “I haven’t changed; the only difference is that I’m now famous and on television,” Wiyaala explained.

On Saturday (12 March), the singer told Solomon Ter on Asaase Radio that establishing an example for young ladies in her community is essential to her.

“I’m making every effort to do a good job representing Sissala.” This is how all the Sissala girls appear; they resemble me, thus I have no plans to change who I am. The little ones will be puzzled if I go out and bleach my skin.”

“Just be yourself; if you have naturally light skin, that’s lovely; your hair is also lovely; you can’t start messing with your skin color because it’s your identity.”

“I decided to stick to what God given me,” the Rock my Body singer admitted. “It was difficult, it wasn’t sexual enough for certain people, and some people even attempted to persuade me to fill the gap between my teeth because it wasn’t sellable, but I just kept going.”
