NewsGyakie pushes back after GHOne TV headlines her love life from a music interview
GHOne posted five cards from her Starr FM interview. The one saying she was searching for a boyfriend drew the most views, and none mentioned her new song, EP or concert.
Gyakie has publicly objected to how GHOne TV presented her interview on Starr FM, after the station posted a card saying she was single and looking for a boyfriend.
The singer is on a media tour this week. On Monday, 19 October, she was on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, where she announced that her concert, Gyakie Live, returns on 12 December at Ghud Park. On Tuesday she was on the GTV Breakfast Show. On Wednesday she was on Starr FM, part of the same EIB Network as GHOne TV.
She has plenty of music to promote. Her new single, "Your Body (Crazy)", produced by AfroLektra, is the lead single of her third EP, The Dawn, and her first release under a distribution deal with Warner Music Africa.
Five cards, no music
At 3:20 PM on Wednesday, GHOne TV posted a news card quoting Gyakie: "I'm single. I'm currently searching for a boyfriend." About an hour and a half later, at 4:52 PM, she quoted it on X, writing: "we spoke about so many important things. i have a new song out, i have an ep coming soon & i have a concert coming up as well yet this's what you decide to highlight ?? i am not looking for a boyfriend please."
GHOne posted five cards from the interview between 3:20 PM and 4:36 PM. They covered her being single, her saying a stage moment with Shatta Wale would be a blessing, being booed at Republic Hall, KNUST, in 2019, her deal-breakers in men, and her dream female collaboration, Efya, with Aṣa as another she would love to work with. None was about the song, the EP or the concert.
The views show why. When checked early that evening, the boyfriend card had about 12,300 views. The collaboration card had about 1,400.
The timeline reacts
Many users on X agreed with her, with some saying mainstream media was behaving like bloggers. One user listed what GHOne could have highlighted: the December concert, the new single and the coming EP. Kwadwo Sheldon replied with an invitation for her to come to KSS instead.
One user asked why she did not sue if she had not said it. The interview tape was not online when QMS checked, so it is not clear whether she said something close or made a joke in the studio.
It is not the first time a line from Gyakie has been taken out of context. A few weeks ago, a remark about how music affects listeners was read on X as suggestive, and she explained it at OkayAfrica's Culture Cafe.
Love life sells and the music doesn't, and that's the business. But a whole interview about her music, and that is the line you put a news alert on? Gyakie has a new song, an EP coming and a concert in December. Her relationship status is not your business.
