- Joyce Dzidzor Mensah slams bloggers for sensationalizing her struggles
- She demands a change in blogging culture, promoting positivity over negativity
- Mensah advocates for support of emerging talents, not just controversy
Former AIDS Ambassador and actress, Joyce Dzidzor Mensah, has spoken out against the negative impact of sensationalized blogging on her life and reputation. In an exclusive interview with Graphic Showbiz on Sunday, August 11, 2024, Ms. Mensah expressed her frustration with bloggers who prioritize controversy over positivity.
“Social media bloggers are mostly interested in negative news because that’s what sells, and they hardly support new talents,” she said. “If we could all support new talents and not only dwell on negative news always, that would help our industry. This has to stop. If we want to see the growth we desire in our industry, our bloggers must learn to limit the way they fuel negativity.”
Ms. Mensah emphasized the need for a more mindful approach, where bloggers consider the impact of their words on creatives and focus on promoting positivity and good news. She also shared insights into her music career, including her collaboration with Ivorian music icon Freddy Meiway on her debut single “Tatata”.
“Making it big in music doesn’t solely depend on collaborations,” she noted. “Breakthroughs can come from any angle. New media has brought out numerous talents that were hidden for long, making the competition very tight.”
