Unfazed by recent criticisms regarding her raunchy dressing, the ’90s’ Bad gal’, Ebony has responded to Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) president Bice Osei Kuffuor aka Obur, over the latter’s comment about the dancehall diva’s outfits for performances.
Reacting to Obour’s remarks in a Facebook post, Ebony sarcastically said that it is acceptable in the Ghanaian culture when one embezzles funds meant for the Musicians Union of Ghana.
She advised the MUSIGA President to rather focus his attention on improving the welfare of musicians.
“Ebony reigns dressing is very bad and is not our culture, but ‘chopping’ of musicians money is very good and I think that is our culture. some gh musicians are dying of hunger and what is ur union doing about that mr president?do you really care?#hustle.” Ebony posted on Facebook.
Background
MUSIGA President, Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour), told Joy News that Ebony’s dressing on stage and in music videos is very ‘bad’.
“It is very bad. Again, in our vein as a union as much as we will try to make the public understand the role that our musicians play, that they are in an acting role… that they should be cautious of the moral values of the country that they are operating in” explained Kuffour to Joy News.
“Lady Gaga could wear it and nobody would cry, will scream foul about it because maybe the environment, and the moral values of the country they are in, is different from the moral values of the country we are in now. And so we are always advising our musicians to be quite decorous… in their way of dressing.”
Ebony has come under severe criticism from many people for her outfits especially after what she wore to the 2017 4Syte TV Music Video Awards.
Ebony is usually critized for what many say is her lack of talent, and believe her showing skin on stage and in music videos is to push attention from her untalented self.
In July 2017, her dad was forced to defend her daughter in an interview with Graphic Showbiz.
“I am supportive of anything my daughter does and anything she wears. I am not ashamed as a father, the truth is that, I choose what she wears and I bless her before she goes out to perform. Some Ghanaians are hypocrites and I am sorry but I am not one of them,” explained Mr. Kwarteng.
Born Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, her song ‘Kupe’ helped her gain mainstream attention in the Ghanaian music industry.

Very well said Ebony. Ghanaians thinks about petty issues so much.
I think we must leave Ebony alone to do what she does the best. As it ostensibly is.. "he who places himself in the spectator stand can say whatever he or she likes in terms of criticism ;but they don't feel the heat on the pitch.REMMBER that they get paid in the pong run... Terrence Nii Adjetey Bon Chaka may he rest in peace,brought his dance style back in the days When he reigned. I mean the PUULELE style, Kwaw Kesse also brought his own style been the ABODAM style. Then if all animals could run, why do we criticise the cow when he also tries to run?? THE SHOW MIST GO ON!!!

Obour nso )dwene ne ho koraa ooooo............Ghana de3 jimii sei aaaaaaaa
People hide behind that word “hypocrisy“ to excuse their appalling behaviours. Let’s call a spade for what it actually is. This young girl‘s behaviour is a cause for concern and as a parent, I strongly disapproves of how she’s carrying herself with other young ones too emulating the distasteful actions like hers. Our society is very sick as it is, she shouldn’t contribute to making it worse. Obour said nothing wrong. Ghanaians should stop encouraging immortality in the name of showbiz and frown upon these despicable behaviours some of our young ones are exhibiting. Yesterday I saw a video of three or four small girls who had gone for juju for money and they were asked to strip naked while they were videoed. At their ages, going for juju? By the time they’re twenty, who knows what the damages they can cause? Parents need to sit up and the laws of Ghana has to be fiercely enforced. Wisa supposedly exposed himself and he was charged with indecent exposure and dragged to court. Why is the same law not dealing with this girl? Is it selective justice? Lord have mercy upon us
You guys should stop the hypocrisy! And who says she doesn't have to comment? Ahh what country is that? She has every right to respond to Obour or whoever. I like this girl. She is on top of her game. You guys should listen, people like what she is doing hence the overwhelming support during her shows. It nauseating when i hear some people who don't support your work but are quick to criticize.
hmmmm ebony or wat she calls herself ....u tink exposing urself is ur behavior ayooo we here... dont 4get u will regret one day....hw can such a pretty Lady lyk u be doing dis.....pls chng wai coz we love u 4 ur gud songs
this girl needs to be talked to by a queen mother of where she comes from. she's just a disgrace. 20years and she thinks exposing her body is all about life???
