Various celebrities have shown strong support for Ghanaian musician Cina Soul after actor Big Akwes delivered harsh criticism about her dance video appearance on a live television broadcast.
The comments created anger among artists and social media influencers after attacking Cina Soul for the outfit she wore in her dance video.
On March 31, 2025, during the Max Morning Show broadcast, Akosua Takyiwaa criticised how Cina Soul looked in her album promotional video.
Takyiwaa expressed shock about Cina Soul’s outfit on social media before accusing it as the main reason for the musician’s clothing decisions.
To that effect, Big Akwes delivered a harsh evaluation when he appeared as a show guest. To him, the clothing choice Cina Soul made received a negative label from his perspective, branding it as “foolish” while he predicted it would damage her brand.
The actor proceeded to disgrace Cina Soul with a three-minute-long stream of offensive statements about her body. To that effect, many people considered these harsh words, along with public shaming, inappropriate toward Cina Soul because she was building her career as an influential musician in Ghana’s music scene.
Below is the said video:
Reactions From Celebs & Fans
The public strongly reacted by having numerous celebrities support the artist. Multiple musicians, including Efya and Sefa as well as Manifest, used social media to criticise the unacceptable remarks broadcast on the show.
Efya voiced her shock on X (formerly Twitter) about the unacceptable remarks which she directed at Max TV Ghana. “We just celebrated Women’s Month! The presenters at Max TV show no respect for an outstanding female artist by using insulting language,” she iterated
“The incident is entirely inappropriate because it shows disrespectful and unacceptable behaviour,” she added.
Sefa, a well-known Ghanaian artist, also expressed her anger about the situation when she said, “The woman sitting there beside me laughs as men analyze another woman’s body and professional achievements during live TV broadcasts.”
“How do you qualify for television broadcasting rights to downgrade an artist’s diligent work into her dress choice?” she added.

Meanwhile, rapper Manifest also expressed his support for Cina Soul through a message on X, where he described his admiration for her growing confidence. “Your happiness depends on the presence of your smile. No one can wear you down ❤️,” he tweeted.
In addition, socialite Ama Burland also criticized how the Ghanaian entertainment industry treats women by pointing to the negative judgements Ebony Reigns received before her passing.
“The public treated Ebony this way before her sudden death yet she should have received the Artist of the Year award,” she said.
You people will never learn. Do you think it is appropriate to handle a child who strays from the right path through insults or body shaming? The single-handed delivery of offensive words with harmful body comments?” Burland concluded.
As a matter of fact, the backlash Cina Soul received from the public has led to increased peer admiration because observers perceive her with greater respect and compassion.
