I was broken when a Twitter user called me ‘beauty but brainless’ — Sefa

Ghanaian Afrobeats and Afropop singer, Sefadzi Abena Amesu, popularly known as Sefa, has revealed how a harsh social media comment once left her emotionally shattered.

The award-winning artiste said she broke down after a Twitter user described her as “beautiful but brainless” and accused her of lacking talent.

She made the disclosure during an interview on Hitz FM on Tuesday, February 24, where she urged social media users to be mindful of their words.

“One thing that really broke me… I went on Twitter and somebody was like, ‘D-Black is wasting his money on Sefa. She’s talentless. She doesn’t have talent.’ In my mind, I’m like, you don’t know what goes on behind the scenes,” she recounted.

According to Sefa, the comment ignored the effort, investment and hard work she puts into her craft.

“To sit on social media and just type something because you see me… ‘she’s just beauty, no brains’… it’s very disturbing at a point. So that really broke me,” she said.

Despite the emotional setback, the singer noted that the experience strengthened her resolve to work harder and prove her critics wrong.
