Akosua Agyapong explained that she started her music career at age 20 and has been performing for 35 years. She acknowledged that her long-standing presence in the industry may have led many to believe she was older than she actually was.
The musician said that when people meet her, they often mention that they have been listening to her music since childhood.
She noted that these comments have contributed to the misconception that she has been in the industry far longer than her actual career span and wished people could recognise her actual age and stop making her seem older.
