Dancehall singer Cynthia Morgan, known as Madrina, has opened up on how she prevented industry players from sexually harassing her.
Madrina talked about her experiences with sexual harassment in the music industry in an open post that was taken down from her Instagram story.
Cynthia Morgan said that she had never experienced harassment like this. She credits her forceful interpersonal skills and tomboyish manner for this.
She conveyed her sadness about the situation that most Nigerian female singers find themselves in and how it impacts their aspirations to be successful in the music industry.
In her words:
“When I tell people I never witnessed sexual harassment in the music industry they are always surprised. Firstly, in real life, I was a tomboy and secondly, I always use to threaten people on how I will import people from Benin to fuck everybody up. Then they fear me for that Lagos.
It’s just so sad how being feminine and wanting to be successful makes you prey. I really pray for a better Nigeria/world.
Stay tough.
God will see us through”.
