Bonang Matheba, South Africa’s celebrity OAP and rapper AKA’s girlfriend in a recent interview she granted called on the Nigerian entertainment industry to quickly tie the loose ends on their regard for female creatives.
Bonang insisted that her country celebrates female entertainers more than Nigeria, which to her mind, has bigger clout and should therefore set good examples.
“Tiwa Savage is the only popular female voice in Nigeria that is greatly celebrated, while the rest of the country honours and recognises men more. This is an area of observation that can be more elevated”
“Our [South Africa’s] industry is far much kinder to our female counterparts and genuinely celebrates them and allows them to shine.”
