Ebony Empowered Female Artists – Louisika

Lousika talks about the legacy of Ebony.

Ghanaian rapper, Lousika opens up about the changing landscape of the music industry. Furthermore, she credits Ebony for the change. This is because when she started a lot of people branded her as a bad girl and untalented.

She made these statements in Showbiz.

Lousika about Ebony changing the game for female artists

“The ladies are working hard, they’re trying and it is very good to see them motivated and poised to make a difference. Now the females have more confidence, even when it comes to outfits; some are very bold to wear anything unlike before when they were afraid of what people would say about them.

It has always been difficult for females to break out, we don’t get much attention but I think with the shake-up that the late Dancehall Queen, Ebony brought into the industry, the ladies are awake now.” 

However, she spoke about the lack of recognition to female rappers. For her, that discrimination has gone on long enough.

“To me, female rappers not being respected is not a new thing because it has been like this for years. But there are many females who are working hard and breaking that stereotype and I pray, hope and believe that with time, things will change. We females need to work harder to make things change and produce good stuff for the people.” 

Moreover, she has been missing in action for a while. However, she says she is taking time off to have a second child in Paris, France.

“I am still into music, I can’t leave what I love. It’s just that I need time off to attend to family issues but I am still in the business. I’m pregnant but not handicapped and I’m working on my EP.

“I will be coming back to Ghana very soon and to be honest, I take my time to do my music. I’m not in a rush but then I wanted to have my baby and that’s what I’m doing and with God’s grace, things will follow. My family is very important to me and music will forever be part of me so I don’t have the intention of stopping now. I am just 24, still very young.” 

She raps and sings in four languages; French, Twi, English and Spanish.
