After singer Sister Deborah released her single ‘Kakalika Love’ in the midst of her messy breakup with ex-boyfriend Medikal in 2018, a segment of the public, particularly women, was outraged.
Derby claims that her ability to overcome depression and make money from a bad situation triggered some women, whom she describes as being enraged by her happiness.
“Sadly, a lot of women were angry that I was happy, I had a hit song and was doing promotions where I was giving out GH1000 every week because we were sponsored by someone who really loved the song and believed in the brand. I saw and heard that fellow women were angry…angry that I wasn’t depressed,” she told Sika Osei on Lynx TV.
Sister Deborah praised her brother, Wanlov The Kubolor, for encouraging her to release ‘Kakalika Love’ by telling how she made lemonade out of lemons thrown at her.
“No matter what life throws at you, make something positive from it. For example, when I went through a major public breakup and then I released ‘Kakalika Love’. Wanlov said that was the right time to release ‘Kakalika Love’… I had already recorded ‘Kakalika Love’…I was waiting for the right moment but then I didn’t want people to say I was responding and going back and forth.
She added: “I won’t join people down there, come on. There is a way to do it…Adele made a whole album about her break up…we too we made cedis and pesewas (laughs)…other people will go through a bad breakup and be depressed, sad and cry about it which a lot of people wanted to see me go through it.”
