Shatta Michy, Ghanaian host, has commended her colleague Gyakie for relying on her talent rather than her body to achieve global success in the music industry. Michy believes that female artists are often pressured to expose themselves sexually to gain attention and success, but Gyakie has changed the game by proving that it’s not necessary to do so. In an interview on TV3’s Ladies Circle, Michy praised Gyakie for setting a positive example for young female artists and hopes that more artists, including herself, will follow suit.

According to Michy, “It is a little sexualized in the industry but can I name drop?? People like Gyakie have come to show us that you don’t have to expose yourself sexually to trend for your music.” She further praised Gyakie’s approach to music and her consistency in dressing in good outfits rather than exposing herself sexually to gain attention.
As a prominent figure in Ghana’s music industry, Michy has also faced criticism for her clothing choices and perceived sexualization. However, she hopes to build a sound that is of high quality and does not need sexuality to sell. “I don’t want to go back to wearing transparent clothing to trend,” she added.
Michy has applauded Gyakie for using her talent instead of her body to achieve global success and hopes that more female artists will follow her example by focusing on their talent and artistry rather than relying on their bodies to gain attention.
