Ghanaian singer and songwriter, Rebecca Akosua Acheampong, popularly known as Becca, has debunked rumors suggesting that she has retired from the music industry.
In 2020, Becca announced on her Instagram page her intention to step back from being a recording artiste by the end of the year. This decision was driven by her desire to prioritize her family life after becoming a mother and to explore opportunities in real estate investment.
However, during an interview with Nana Ama McBrown on Onua Showtime, Becca clarified that her statement was misunderstood. She explained that she merely intended to take a break from actively recording music and not to quit her music career entirely.
Becca emphasized that her decision to step back did not mean she would no longer perform on stage at events or that she had permanently stopped singing.
“At a point in my life I decided to take a break so I when issued the statement people misunderstood it. I only said I did not want to be actively recording music. It did not mean that as an artiste I cannot perform on stage or I have stopped singing totally, it was only to the effect that I will not be engaging in studio recording.
“Also, I wanted to explore other areas after almost 14 years of music. But as an artiste honestly you can never say that you won’t sing anymore,” she noted on Sunday, February 11.
When asked by the host if she plans to return to active studio recordings, Becca replied, “Honestly, I do not know. The Valentine Love Night show will tell.”
Becca, who is now married and involved in real estate investment along with other ventures, will be performing on stage with fellow artiste Kwabena Kwabena on Wednesday, February 14, for the Vitamilk Love Night event.
In the meantime, Kwabena Kwabena revealed that it took him two years to persuade Becca to join him for his annual Valentine night performance.
“I wanted her to understand that she’s been missed by her fans. I have been to so many stages that after singing and about to leave stage, then the fans begin to sing ‘U lied to me’ then I sing my part and make the fans sing her part. It gave me the impression that she’s been missed,” Kwabena Kwabena said.
