As one of the few surviving female rap musicians in Ghana, sensational
Eno does not see the plus size of her body as an obstacle that will
hinder her from matching up to the other rap artistes who are not so
body-endowed.
"I know it is perceived that my kind of music or rapping is for those
who are not as big as I am judging from the energy a rapper needs to
make an impact on stage when performing.
"But I am not an idle person, I exercise a lot and I am very health
conscious. Before I go on stage, I rehearse, check my breathe control
and then unlock all the energy I need to make my performance look
good." she told Showbiz on Tuesday.
"If I say I want to listen to what people are saying about my body
size and wait to slim before I do music then I'm sure I would be dead
by the time I come out with my first single. I do not need the
permission of anybody to do what I have been blessed to do and who
says rap music is for only those who are slim?
Eventhough most of the ladies in Ghana who are pursuing secolar music
are slim and cute, Eno does not see that as a challenge looking at the
size of her body.
"I do not have a problem with the fact that most of the ladies I find
myself doing secular music with are slim and I say this because, I
have reached a point in my life where I tell myself that the size of
my body should not determine what I do".
Responding to whether other female artistes do not intimidate her when
she is on the same bill with them, she said; "not at all, whenever I
have to perform, what matters to me is how to entertain my fans and
that is what I work at and I make sure I make my fans happy after
every performance."
"Moreover, I have a fan base that love and admire my kind of music and
to me that is what matters. I do not care what others think, the
bottom line is I love who I am, I love myself and I do not wish to be
someone else" she said.
The Kumasi based rapper who has been rapping for almost a decade also
had a word for people who describe her as fat. "I do not see myself as
a fat person. I would describe myself as someone who is well endowed
in all aspects of my body and I do not wish to change who I am.
Born Ruth Nana Serwaa Nyame, Eno had her secondary education at
Methodist Secondary in Tema where she shared the classroom with
Sarkodie, Stay J,Yaw Siki, Stonebwoy and others. Eno read marketing at
Kumasi Polytechnic.
She is known for songs like My Love which featured Afriyie formerly of
Wutah, I'm Out, pull me out, Tonga(Cover), 'What's My Name, Chain of
Love, Commot For There and many more.
