‘Diss’ song: You should’ve listed your achievements toe-to-toe, dare Efia Odo to do same; slut-shaming her is a loss — Entertainment pundit to Sista Afia

Whitney Boakye-Mensah, an entertainment pundit and event organiser, has criticised Sista Afia's recent diss song aimed at Efia Odo in their ongoing lyrical feud, labelling it as outdated, childish, and cheap.

During a panel discussion on UTV's United Showbiz, hosted by MzGee, Boakye-Mensah highlighted the issue with female artistes resorting to slut-shaming as their primary tactic in a beef song.

She argued that using such degrading language is problematic, as it has historically been a tactic employed by men against women and should not be perpetuated by women themselves.

Boakye-Mensah stated, "To get women to go into the gutters about beautiful faces, their sex organs and all that... haven't men done that enough already to us women?

“Why should the first point of call for a woman to another woman in a beef song be to slut-shame her? The moment you go on that tangent, you've lost."

She suggested that Sista Afia could have showcased her achievements in the music industry and beyond, rather than resorting to slut-shaming.

"What I was expecting from Sista Afia, such an intelligent and beautiful girl, was to actually do a diss song listing her achievements toe-to-toe and dare Efia Odo to do the same. This style of beef, where you expose who your opponent has had sexual relations with, is so old, it's so childish, and it's so cheap," she said.

Boakye-Mensah emphasised that such songs fuel stereotypes, suggesting that women in the music and entertainment industry often sleep with men to get their way to the top.

"Even more important is how this type of song fuels already established perceptions that women in the music and entertainment industry sleep their way to the top,” she added.
