Ghanaian singer Jackline Acheampong, popularly known as Gyakie, has opened up on feeling uncomfortable during her time in school due to the constant pressure from her lecturers.
Gyakie, who studied Business Administration at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), revealed that balancing her education with her music career often made her feel paranoid and overwhelmed.
“Sometimes, going to class becomes a bit uncomfortable because some lecturers know I am a singer, and they randomly ask me questions I am not ready to answer. Sometimes they throw questions at me that I don’t even know the answers to.
“Also in terms of how I dress as a student, I sometimes became paranoid because I don’t feel comfortable in the prescribed dress given to the business student. There are times I go to lectures and people would request for pictures times I don’t feel good about myself,” she said.
Gyakie also recalled how terrified she was during her first stage performance at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
“I was very scared during my first stage performance. I remember during the Republic Hall SRC week. I went to perform and during that, the speakers went off. I didn’t know what to do and some of the fans were hooting at me, while others tried their best to keep the atmosphere active.
“Nobody asked me to leave the stage. When I got backstage, I cried because I regretted going there,” she added.
