Singer Nadia Mukami is speaking out after some people slammed her song Woza Woza, saying it promotes bad stuff.
After the song stirred up a lot of talk online, the award-winning artist brushed aside the claims.
She thinks there’s a double standard in how people judge male and female singers.
Nadia says women in music often get judged harder, especially when they sing about stuff that people accept from male artists.
She says guys’ songs about love, wanting someone, or partying usually don’t get as much anger, but female singers get labeled and criticised fast for similar stuff.
She says Woza Woza came from everyday life and wasn’t meant to push anyone to do wrong.
She says it’s just showing real talks and situations that happen. Music should be able to show life as it is.
The singer says artists should be free to sing about different things without getting attacked or misunderstood.
Musicians tell stories and watch what’s happening, so their work shouldn’t always be taken literally or judged alone.
Nadia also wants critics to see that it’s about equality in art. Women should have the same freedom as men.
She says blocking female voices just hurts creativity and stops honest expression.
Even with the negative reactions, Nadia is still focused on her music and thankful for fans who support her.
She thinks talking about music is good, but it should be fair. She sees Woza Woza as art, not a message about right and wrong, and she won’t apologise for telling stories through her songs.
