Marriage Not Responsible For My Absence From Music Scene- Becca
Becca has clarified that her absence from the music scene is not due to marriage, emphasizing that music will always be her top priority.
The Daa Ka Daa hitmaker explained that her break coincided with her marriage, leading to assumptions that her marital status was the cause of her hiatus.
She mentioned that she chose to take a step back to focus on other opportunities and diversify her sources of income beyond music, which had been her primary source of livelihood for many years.
“It was not about marriage. That’s the mistake people are making. It just coincided, sort of, because it was a decision I’d already made, that I wanted to take some time. I’d (been active) for eleven years almost. And I just thought to a little break,” she said.
“I wanted to get into real estate because that’s where I wanted to make money elsewhere. I wanted to concentrate on my spa, which is one of the biggest spas in Ghana right now. I wanted to do other things,” she added.
Becca refuted the notion that marriage and childbirth had caused her to disappear from the scene. She reassured her fans that her love for music remains unwavering and she has no intentions of abandoning it.
And then, of course, children come in, and then you’re like, okay, and then you have your husband. But that wasn’t the focus. I wanted to explore other avenues as well. Music is always going to be my first. I can’t run away from that, no matter what.
