Renowned Ghanaian filmmaker, Jackson K Bentum, has responded to netizens criticising his daughter, Yaa Jackson, over her fashion choices.
In an interview with Emelia Brobbey, shared on social media on July 15, 2025, Jackson Bentum noted that his daughter is of age, therefore, she is free to wear whatever dress she deems fit.
He explained that Yaa Jackson, who is currently pursuing a career in the music industry’s choice of outfits match the profession she is in, therefore, the constant criticisms against her are unwarranted.
“Because I am in the entertainment industry, I perfectly understand what is going on. I know most people don’t understand what is going on because they are not in the entertainment industry.
“Moreover, she doesn’t sing gospel songs and she can’t war ‘kaba’ to shoot a music video. So, people should understand her. She is a shy person and I was surprised when I got to hear she is now singing,” he said.
Jackson K Bentum further noted that most of the outfits his daughter wears on social media are for advertisement purposes, but in reality, that isn’t her identity.
“Sometimes I hear people complain about the type of dress she wears. From what I know, the outfits are purposely for advertisement and that isn’t who she is.
“But if you see her wearing those dresses in town, that is when you can call and tell me she is badly dressed. Apart from that, I don’t see anything wrong with her dress,” he added.
