Afro beat songstress Queen Cha says that she nearly lost courage to be a singing bird in 2013 owing to unnatural comments she read from newspapers criticizing her almost nude dressing picture taken by Paparazzi cameras.
Speaking to the
journalists, the Ntawe Nkura hit maker confided that the majority of Rwandan female
singers give in their singing talents due to fear of negative criticism from
the public who still believe in primitive stereotypes about women.
“It’s not that our brothers are more talented
than us, in fact we got some super talented female artists but the problem is they
still lack courage to showcase their talents fearing of what the society
might judge about them in line with their work.” the singer replied.

“I almost left
music industry when I woke up in the morning reading weird comments on my
pictures taken while performing in some bar yet I had dressed purposely for
stage,” she recalled.
The incident happened in 2013 when Queen Cha was performing in a hangout bar,
Relax Bar and Resto in Kigali. She was wearing a legging with a white nicker
which was single handily picked by paparazzi cameras.
Early this year
upcoming songstress Marina was pulled off the stage while performing. Later she
declared that she was pointed a finger in accusation of dressing unsuitably.
“Being a perform
asks you to do things like dressing in skimpy outfits, performing in bars late
at night and as a female, this might draw negative comments which might damage
you mentally and even cost you a career” Queen Cha added.
