People don’t appreciate female artistes – Knowless

Musician Jeanne Butera aka Knowless has lashed out at people who don’t appreciate female artistes in Rwanda. According to our snoops, Knowless is bitter that people just criticize and expect miracles to happen. This comes after rumours circulated on social media about how she is not a gifted musician but uses her looks with the help of studio machines to get by. Posting on her Facebook page, Knowless said, "Why do people always discredit me and other female musicians yet they can’t do anything?” As the post gained momentum with some people rubbishing her more, she pulled it down and discussions continued on other pages. Knowless is among the few successful musicians in Rwanda but has continuously been discredited. She continues to hold successful album launches and concerts.
