Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Iona has defended herself from claims that she is into women.

According to her, people don't like her and make nasty rumors about her because she's not the type that does popular music.

The artiste, while speaking in an interview with DJ Advicer on the Ayekoo After-Drive show, explained that she only does songs that educate, songs that Ghanaians aren't interested in.

She went further to state that she will not be joking the popular trend of making dance music as she is aware that a lot of other artists are making songs that people can dance to because it seems to be what is trending. 

“I’ve realized that songs that are jammable are what people like and as an artist if you don’t take care, you’ll just keep doing those kinds of songs. Ebony had ‘sponsor’, Auntie Wendy has ‘akokra’ and stuff like that."

"You may think it’s entertaining but what you’re doing is you’re spoiling the young girls,”

Iona revealed that she found music as a source of respite after going through a bad divorce. 

“I just woke up one morning and decided to do music. I told myself I would do it after going through some emotional problems. I was broken-hearted after my divorce to a man I was married to for five (5) years and had two (2) kids with”

 “To be married for five (5) years and leave is no joke. But I am not sure I want to marry anytime soon”.
