Ben Brako Explains Semi-Nude Post With Wife
22.10.2018 LISTEN

Ghanaian highlife legend, Ben Brako, has finally reacted to backlash on social media after he released a semi-nude photo of him and his wife.

The couple has come under heavy criticisms after they released a semi-nude photograph on social media which shows the two hugging.

The couple after their post captioned the photo “To Kofi Nyaako, and others who only see this as titillation and nakedness instead of the beauty, artistry and African high culture that it truly represents, this is for you as well.”

However, after receiving hot criticism from their fans the couple has come out to explain the reason behind their nude post.

Below is his explanation
“Seems some people have not followed the sequence of events that led to me posting a picture of me and my wife in an intimate pose.

“First I posted a beautiful picture of my wife in a classy traditional pose. Somebody suggested that I was like exploiting the feminism of my wife, and that I should post a shot of myself in a similar setting. I obliged only because I wanted it known that I’m comfortable in myself to project images that reflect my heritage in a tasty setting.

“Let me be clear. In an era where we’re so mixed up in our mentality that we accept English as our national language, where our national anthem is an English song with English lyrics, where our people are obliged to dress like foreigners to work and play, it is important that someone stands up to declare that our heritage and culture have an important place in our national discourse and should have the pride of place in our lives.

“This I’m doing in my own unobtrusive way which I’m very comfortable with. If even one young person gets inspired by this it would have been worthwhile. I have always loved natural poses a la Baya album photo. I as an African man of Ghanaian descent am portraying myself in a way I’m comfortable and happy with. If you are not happy with that, fine. Don’t go take a flying jump, but if you did I would not stop you”.
