Ghanaian female rapper, Eno Barony, credited with a number of hit songs,has declared that she is not in the music business to showcase her rap skills to her male counterparts.

The African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA) 2020 Best Female Rapper, revealed this in an interview with Lord Sly on Guide Radio‘s drive time program, Flight Time.

The rapper, whose goal is to use her music to influence constructive social change, is regarded as one of Ghana’s rising stars at the moment.

“I don’t think I have to prove anything to males. My objective is self-improvement and personal growth. I push myself all the time to become a better artiste and to go beyond my past successes,” she told Lord Sly.

She highlighted that her passion to encourage the next generation and share her life experiences is what drives her to create rap music.

The female rapper thinks that with the knowledge she has gained thus far in her career, along with her musical taste and stage presence, she will have a significant influence on the global music scene shortly.

“My life is reflected in my songs. I put my whole being into each song, making it possible for listeners to identify with my challenges and journey,” she said.

Eno talked about the difficulties she had in her early career, especially her father’s opposition to her desire to become a rapper.

She persisted in pursuing her love of music in spite of resistance and even physical abuse from her father.
