Highlife Legend, Ben Brako has responded to critics over semi-nude photos of him and his wife shared widely on social media in 2018.

Reacting to the semi-nude photos of themselves, The ‘Etue’ hit singer in an interview with

Kasapa Fm’s Kojo Preko Dankwa on Kasapa Entertainment, said many critics vilified him for

posting his wife’s nudity to stay relevant with his music career.

Making reference to the popular DIPO rite, a Ghanaian traditional festival celebrated by the

people of Odumase in the Eastern region of Ghana, the celebrated icon said he grew up in

various places in Ghana where most women move freely around covering their bodies with just

a piece of cloth and nothing covering their breasts.

According to him, showing certain parts of their body signify how one

should appreciate and respect women and not look at them with disdain.

“Actually the semi-nude picture was inspired by tradition. I remember growing up in various places and you will find out that people live freely especially you will see women dressed with their breast hanging and part of their body is covered with a thin cloth. We grow up with this kind of traditional way of dressing respecting women. It is nothing strange.

“A bit of nudity doesn’t hurt but there is a difference between going semi-nude and going all nude. There is a tasty way of doing things because we are so close to nature.

I try to do something very tasteful and I’m happy that a lot of people appreciate it and a lot are insulting and abusive about it as if that is what makes a person’s character but in reality, how you live your life determines what kind of a person you are.

“My wife and I always take memorable and meaningful pictures. I posted one of my wife’s pictures which was so nice and the reaction from a critic was that I’m using my wife’s nakedness to further my music career but I have no problem about that.” Ben Brako told Kojo Preko Dankwa on Kasapa Entertainment

Ben Brako was born on 20 May 1952 in Accra, Ghana and took an active interest in the music

and entertainment world at a very young age and yet he is one of the few musicians who took his education very seriously.

He had his secondary education at St Augustine’s College in Cape Coast. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Agric Economics from the University of Ghana and also obtained a B.A. (Hons) in Media Communication Studies from the University of East London (1994).
