Female artistes on the Rufftown Records label owned by Bullet, who managed the late singer, Ebony, have been accused of trying to be like the late singer.
The comparison and accusations first began with ‘Uber Driver’ hitmaker Wendy Shay and now new signee, Fantana, has also become a victim.
Speaking to Graphic Showbiz the new artiste said that the deep voice she has, has gotten fans of the late singer thing she (Fantana) is trying to emulate the style and voice texture of Ebony.
“Actually when I posted my music video, the comments I had asserted that I was trying to be like her but it is not true. The only way I am similar to her is the voice. She had a deep voice like me and so on that note, yes we are similar,” she said.
Fantana, however, believes that her style is completely different from Ebony’s.
“ You can’t blame the people too because we are on the same label being managed by the same person so it is fine if they say that. But in all honesty, we are different people,” she in the interview.
Talking about her relationship with Uber Driver singer, Wendy Shay, Fantana said, “we are okay, we relate like normal people, there is no competition whatsoever. Our music and style of singing are actually different, our dreams and goals are also different so we are okay.”
She added that it would be a great opportunity for her to collaborate with her label mate, Wendy Shay and also dancehall artiste Shatta Wale
Fantana, who also has a fashion background and a clothing line said her love for music overrode the passion for fashion, hence the switch in focus.
“My fashion line, Sebastian Clothing, is for the men but I love music. This does not mean that I have given up on that (fashion), I still do that but is not the main path I want to take now,” she stated.
Fantana, real name Francine Nyanko Koffi, hails from the Western Region but was born and raised in Atlanta in the United States of America.
