Ghanaian singer Sista Afia has opened up about a disturbing encounter with a fan that left the individual hospitalized after she struck him with a microphone.
Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, the “Weather” hitmaker recounted how uncomfortable she feels when fans attempt to touch her while she’s making her way to the stage.
“I hate it when people like to touch me when I’m going on stage, especially the fans. It’s something I don’t like at all—it’s very uncomfortable for me. One time, somebody pressed me so hard, and I hit him with a mic. The person had to go to the hospital,” she said.
According to her, the incident occurred during one of her performances when a fan inappropriately touched her “front part.”
Feeling violated and acting on impulse, she struck the individual with her microphone.
Sista Afia explained that although there was security present at the event, the disorganized nature of the show made it difficult for her to access the stage safely.
“My first instinct was to react immediately. Sometimes, you have to go through the crowd to reach the stage, especially when the event isn’t well organized. So, when the guy did that, my first instinct was to find out who it was, and I hit him with the mic so hard,” she narrated.
The singer expressed her frustration with how poorly coordinated some events can be, noting that such situations often expose artistes to harassment and safety risks.
Reflecting on her journey in the music industry, Sista Afia also lamented that despite her efforts, she often feels unappreciated.
“I may never be a favourite in the music industry despite all my efforts,” she added.
