Ghanaian singer Feli Nuna is speaking candidly about the difficult realities she faced behind the scenes of the music industry, shedding light on experiences that ultimately forced her to step away from her career at a critical moment.
In a revealing interview with 3Music TV, the “BumBum” hitmaker detailed an incident from 2022 that left a lasting emotional impact. What was meant to be a routine promotional visit in Accra quickly turned into a distressing experience.
According to the artiste, she was sexually harassed during a media engagement by someone she was familiar with, an encounter that shook her sense of safety within the industry.
Beyond that isolated moment, Feli Nuna painted a broader picture of what she describes as a troubling culture, where female artistes are often not respected for their talent but are instead subjected to inappropriate expectations.
She expressed frustration over what she sees as a pattern of being undervalued, stating that her skills and hard work were frequently overlooked in favor of exploitative interests.
The singer also recalled another incident during the promotion of her single “Towel” that same year. She described a confrontation with industry insiders she referred to as “gatekeepers,” alleging that their comments normalized inappropriate relationships between male executives and female artistes.
For Feli Nuna, these repeated encounters took a toll. She explained that the emotional weight of the experiences became overwhelming, leading her to take a step back from music to protect her mental and emotional wellbeing.
Her decision to pause her career, she noted, was necessary to regain clarity and rebuild her strength before returning to the spotlight.
Now, her revelations are sparking renewed conversations across Ghana’s entertainment scene about the treatment of women in the industry. Many are calling for stronger safeguards, accountability, and a more respectful environment where female creatives can thrive based on talent, not vulnerability.
Feli Nuna’s story adds to a growing chorus of voices demanding change and pushing for safer spaces within the African music ecosystem.
