Singer Fave has revealed how hard it is for female artistes in the music industry, saying they are mostly measured by their appearance.
According to her, instead of metrics like stage presence and vocal ability, female artistes are judged by what they wear and the shape of their tummy.
She told Afropolitan Podcast: “It’s harder for female artistes to blow. Female artistes aren’t measured by talent but by what they wear. If your tummy isn’t flat… it’s never really about the music; it’s more about people’s sexual desires or their fantasies about you. And I think that right there is a problem, because it becomes more about how decently you are dressed before people listen to you."
Further speaking, Fave lamented that male counterparts aren't held to the same standard.
"But when it comes to men, they aren’t held to that same standard. When it comes to performances, female artistes perform better," she said.
She added that despite the discrimination faced, “When it comes to performances, female artistes perform better.”
