Ghanaian gospel singer Nhyira Betty has opened up about how her views on fashion have significantly shifted, revealing she once believed Brazilian hair was linked to witchcraft.
During a recent interview on Okay FM, the ‘Barima Ena’ singer reflected on her transformation, emphasizing the importance of being adaptable in the music industry. “If you’re a musician, you have to be dynamic. Follow the trends and the era, see what others are doing, and learn. At first, I didn’t like dressing up,” she noted.
She recalled a pivotal moment when a woman who facilitated her trip abroad gifted her a Brazilian wig, a gesture she initially rejected due to her beliefs at the time. “A woman who helped me travel abroad bought a Brazilian wig for me, but I said it’s witches’ hair, so I didn’t use it. The woman took me to a shop to buy dresses, but I told her that if I wore those kinds of clothes, I wouldn’t go to heaven, so I didn’t take them,” she confessed.
However, attending public events broadened her outlook. She eventually realized her misconceptions and made a personal decision to embrace modern fashion. “I went to a couple of events and realized I’d been mistaken. No one even told me to change my lifestyle, I changed on my own, and I always thank God for the life of that woman,” she said.
Nhyira Betty stressed that a gospel minister’s appearance plays a vital role in connecting with others.
“When you’re in ministry, you deal with people, and your appearance should be pleasing to them,” the Ghanaian gospel singer stated.
