Gospel songstress, Celestine Donkor has written an open letter to dance hall and afrobeat artiste Ebony, to advise her on how she dresses.
In the letter she posted on Facebook, Celestine commends Ebony for her talent and style but advises her to be decent in her dressing.
Her letter comes few days after pictures and videos of Ebony’s costume to the 4syte Music Video Awards ‘broke’ the internet.
Below is Celestine’s letter to singer Ebony:
“Dear Ebony
I have taken time to listen to your songs, and watched most of your live performances on utube [sic]. I must say you are a very talented artist….actually .
#YourTalent&Style: weight for me, is like combining 3 secular female artist [sic] whom I don’t want to mention their names here.
#YourLyrics: are very smart and takes a very strong feminist disposition- Empowering women and bringing out challenges and Delimer [sic] that young ladies face.
#YourVoice: is simply amazing! Very strong and catches attention instant attention without negotiation.
#YourBrand: though still developing Is a contageous fever that can’t be ignored. With a strategic management team, you are capable of contending with any Competitor.
Now the contradiction about you is how you interpret all these great qualities on stage….. My point is with all these….. Is ‘nudity’ necessary? I really want to know, what value does exposing your nakedness to the public add to your brand…. Because actually, it’s not Like going nakedly wild on stage is something new……. Mzbel did that before….”
However, some have described Ebony’s style of dressing as a brand positioning for the songs she does.
Ebony has hit songs like ‘Kupe,’ ‘Poison,’ ‘Sponsor,’ Date r Fada’ and the recent controversial ‘Hustle.’
