Ghanaian singer Moliy opened up about an awkward moment during an interview with American DJ Norie, who commented that she spoke "too proper" to be Ghanaian. What began as a light compliment on her clear voice soon turned into a tense exchange when DJ Norie implied that her polished English was unexpected for someone from Ghana.
Moliy challenged the stereotype, explaining that English was her favorite subject in school, and that her natural accent is very different. She expressed discomfort at the suggestion that people from Ghana don’t usually speak English well, highlighting how such backhanded compliments can feel dismissive and unfair.
