Known for his prolific outspokenness and hard truth on issues, Ghanaian star, Okyeame Kwame has made another in-depth analysis towards contributing to the abuse of women as sex objects in music videos.According to him, there has been a trend in recent music videos which have witnessed images of female dancers in semi-naked, making very suggestive moves in a much sexier manner, which obviously, does not relate to the African culture.Some of such music videos have found their way into this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), and have to be carefully scrutinised to bring sanity into the music industry.Speaking in an exclusive interview with one of the Ghanaian newspapers, Ghanaian Chronicle, the Rap Doctor, on his 37th Birthday, has stated that musicians and music producers should desist from using women as sex objects in their music videos in the country."Are we using women as sex objects because Jay-Z and others are doing it, or that is our culture? Semi-naked women in Dippo and Bragoro is a part of our culture practice of introducing ladies into maturity in our locality, but has a different meaning and connotation in our African culture,” Okyeame Kwame added.
