Ghanaian songstress, Sista Afia has expressed her views on seeking public attention in the entertainment industry, asserting that it is an integral part of showbiz. During a conversation with renowned fashion stylist and influencer Charlie Dior at the Ghana Entertainment Awards red carpet, she emphasized the importance of attention-seeking in show business.
“If the person is seeking attention for show business, I think it makes sense. That’s why it’s called show business. You just have to know how to manoeuvre yourself,” she said.
Sista Afia encouraged individuals to pursue what benefits them, stating, “Anything that’s good for anybody, just go ahead and do.”
Her remarks were in response to a question from Charlie Dior about the prevalence of attention-seeking behaviors, particularly following the recent controversy involving Chef Ebenezer Smith and his alleged Guinness World Record attempt.
In March 2024, Chef Smith gained significant attention for his purported Guinness World Record attempt for the Longest Cooking Marathon by an individual. He held a press conference at La Palm Beach Hotel to announce his recognition by the organization. However, it was later discovered that Guinness World Records had no record of such an application or attempt from him.
This revelation led to public backlash and accusations of deceit, prompting Chef Smith and his assistant to issue public apologies. In an emotional interview on GHOne TV, Chef Smith expressed deep regret, stating that he simply wanted a chance to showcase his talent and earn a living.
