Multiple award-winning Ghanaian neo-soul vocalist Efya has recounted how she was beaten just because she is the daughter of Nana Adwoa Awindor.

Nana Adwoa Awindor became a household name following the popular ‘Greetings From Abroad’ show, has said she was beaten in school just for being the daughter of the renowned TV personality.

Speaking with Doreen Avio, product of Yaa Asantewaa Secondary School recounting her days in the school said, growing up it was “very stressful” being the daughter of the host of Ghana’s first international link TV show. “There was a lot of pressure,”

According to the multiple award-winning best female Vocal performer at the VGMA, she got beaten up just because of being the daughter of the famous TV personality when she went to secondary school. 

“They see your mum on TV and they’ll say you think you’re Nana Adwoa Awindor’s child so then they beat me after making these remarks.”

She stressed that the narrative changed when she became a sports girl and represented the school during athletic competitions.

“…You can’t touch me because I added value to myself for the school. If you beat me, we’ll see who will win the 200 meters,” she said.
