The 2017 Ghana Meets Naija concert turned out to be a night of explosive performances. Of course. As if we were expecting any less.

Interestingly, though, in the wake of the event, most people have chosen to talk more about Shatta Michy’s ‘sagging boobs’ than the performances of the night.

Missing the point? Yes, of course. But there is a much more serious issue: Objectification!

Admittedly, both women and men get objectified, and for various reasons. However, according to the biased standards of our society, a man’s appearance isn’t considered to define him nearly as much as a woman’s appearance is considered to define her.

I would have to be fair here. Let’s face it: women are guilty of objectifying too. Some women talk about the height, penis size, muscles, and recently, beard of men. Ladies talk about how great or disgusting an affair with a man was just because of his penis size. It happens. The size that will satisfy Ayeley may not satiate Serwaa. Instead of just looking for what one feels comfortable with, the ladies talk about their situations with their fellow girls.

I believe this is not fair.

Your unwanted meal is actually another person’s delicacy. You don’t have to objectify people just because they have something you don’t like.

On the other hand, men also objectify the women. And this phenomenon seems to be more prevalent, almost assuming a status as a norm. In recent times, Shatta Michy, the wife of dancehall superstar Shatta Wale, has been a consistent target, suffering demoralizing objectification. Men on social media have made it a habit of coldly mocking her for possessing ‘sagging boobs’.

My question; is it her fault she has ‘sagging boobs’?

The comparison between Shatta Michy and Tracy Sarkcess, the partner of rap hitmaker Sarkodie - who many say has firm breasts despite giving birth last year -  is in very bad faith.

Yes, Tracy and Shatta Michy both have a child each. It does not mean their boobs should look similar. People have different genetic make-ups. There is no need comparing their boobs in a blatant effort to make one look bad.

My three years stay in a girls-only secondary school left me with many lessons via experiences, and one of those was that one lady’s sagging boob is another’s firm boobs and vice versa.

As my friend will say: “there are some girls who have not had a child but still have ‘sagging boobs’.” People are different. Sometimes, there is no explanation for someone’s uniqueness. And come to think of it, there really shouldn’t be.

For all those trolling Shatta Michy, how will you feel if you or your female relation were in her shoes?

People should be proud of her for flaunting what she’s got unashamedly. For encouraging other women who possibly have similar breasts like hers to show it without feeling inadequate or inferior.

To the men trolling: so you don’t like ‘sagging boobs’ - big deal! No one is forcing it on you. Shatta Wale likes it. And that matters because he is the one with the woman. Not you.

Instead of trolling her, praise her for accepting herself and showing the world who she really is, proudly and unapologetically. She did not fake it - and the irony is that if she had, you would have vilified her for it as well. She is real. She is free. How many of you can say same?

Objectifying does not help. There is a need to put an end to it.

To Shatta Michy? Keep doing you.
