Sista Afia is a Ghanaian musician
With an inappropriate encounter still fresh in singer Sista Afia’s memory, she has recounted how a fan once pressed her inappropriately when she was about to go on stage.
In an interview on Hitz FM on October 30, 2025, Sista Afia disclosed that she dislikes it when fans try to touch her as she makes her way to the stage because it makes her very uncomfortable.
According to her, during one of her performances, a fan pressed her ‘front part’ so intensely that she instinctively hit the person with a microphone, causing injuries that led to the fan going to the hospital.
I may never be a favourite in the music industry despite all my efforts – Sista Afia
“I hate it when people like to touch me when I’m going on stage, especially the fans, and it’s something that I don’t like at all. It’s very uncomfortable for me. When they press me, I don’t like that press. One time, somebody pressed me so hard, and I hit him with a mic. The person had to go to the hospital,” she said.
Sista Afia added that although security personnel were present at the event, her immediate reaction was to defend herself because of how uncomfortable the situation made her feel.
She explained that such incidents mostly happen at poorly organised events where artistes are forced to walk through crowds to reach the stage.
“My first instinct was to react immediately. Sometimes, you have to go through the crowd to reach the stage, especially when the event isn’t well organised. So, when the guy did that, my first instinct was to find out who it was, and I hit him with the mic so hard,” she added.
