Ghanaian female rapper, Eno Barony has expressed her disagreement on how musicians are often segregated based on their gender.
The rapper believes, labelling her as a female artiste instead of plainly calling her a rapper, is a way of boxing her in.
“They are putting us in a box because if you want to talk about artistes since we all using the same microphones and stages, you should call us artistes … then why don’t you be like male artiste and female artiste? ” she quizzed in a Vibes In 5 interview.
The ‘Arguments Done’ rapper says she believes in the what men can do, women can do it notion, therefore, creating segregations create the notion that women can’t compete with men.
Sharing her opinion about gender influenced opportunities in showbiz, she said: “Women are special, yes we are but I have this mentality that what a man can, a woman can also do. So that thing like women are the weakest so let’s do this for them, I don’t buy into that”.
Eno Barony added that she’ll love to be rated among best rappers unless there’s a list best female rappers and best male rappers.
