Gospel songstress Gifty Osei who has not been happy about insults she
receives from her followers on social media platforms have asked such
persons to either un-follow her or she will be forced to block them.
"I have taken the insults for too long and I think the time to take
action is now. It is very disheartening that I wake up in the morning
and read messages that are full of insults either on my facebook wall
or my inbox. I mean how, it is not fair, not at all, not to us who are
public figures or into
show business.
"The painful part is that, these are people who do not know anything
about you and even if you want to say something or comment on my post
or picture, should it be an insult? I upload pictures and
people have issues with my pictures," she said in an interview with
livefmghana.com.
Asked if she doesn't expects to be trolled given her public status,
she said: "I am human and so long as I have life and I am living, I am
still learning. Moreover when I came into the music scene, I was well
received by Ghanaians and that is something I really appreciate but
that does not give them the freedom to be attacking my personality.
"I have a life to live and I should be free to do so without anyone
abusing and insulting me. For God sake I am human."
"Someone sent me a friend request on facebook and I accepted and then
the person sends a message to thank me for acceptance. After a while
this same person sent me another message with insults just
because I posted a picture the person was not happy about on my wall
and for me such attitudes are uncalled for and they should not be
encouraged."
A celebrated gospel musician, she released her debut album Aseda in
2007. It was a huge hit.
Gifty had her basic education at the Mantey Din and New Oninku JSS,
all in Tema, before learning fashion designing. She is married to
Tema-based Pastor Prince Elisha Osei.
She was recently honored with a Best Female Gospel Musician award in Italy.
