Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter, Amaarae has said she's received much "hate" than love since relocating to her home country in 2017.
In an interview with ABC News Live Prime, Amaarae claimed that the "hatred" stems from her "being a woman that is so bold and expressive." "I don't think that I have seen anyone get as much hatred from their home country as I have.
It is unfortunate and I think that it does also have a lot to do about me being a woman and then being a woman that is so bold and expressive and I think it kind of shocked people and scared them," she noted.
The singer believes it's time for a holistic dialogue about women empowerment. "Real conversations about our community need to happen, real conversations about the way that women are viewed and are allowed to express themselves.
