During the interview with Berla Mundi, Efya shared her frustrations about being questioned for collaborating with a gospel artist.

Efya emphasized the need for Ghanaians to break away from associating the term “secular” with anything devilish or negative. She urged people to stop labeling and judging artists solely based on their genre of music.

As the most featured female artiste in Ghana, Efya holds a remarkable record in the industry. She is also the first female artist to achieve groundbreaking milestones and has been recognized with numerous awards. Despite these achievements, she believes that the attention should be shifted towards positive opinions and support for artists who are unapologetically expressing themselves.
