Ghanaian actress and musician, Efia Odo has dismissed claims by netizens that her association ruins artists' music careers.

There have been assertions that her closeness to artistes like Kwesi Arthur and King Promise coincided with a decline in their progress.

In response to the claim, Efia Odo expressed in an exclusive interview with Ghana Weekend on Tuesday, September 9, “Was I not the same person promoting Kwesi Arthur’s songs all the time? I’ve also worked with Likee. Has Likee stopped what he’s doing? I’m close to Shatta Wale. Has he stopped doing music? I’ve supported so many people in the industry, from Darkovibes to Gyakie to Black Sherif.”

She further described such claims as "negative projections, from people who hold a wrong perception about her.

She stressed that the challenges artistes encounter are largely tied to their own issues and not her influence.

Months ago, the socialite shared the details of why she is unable to flood social media expressing support for her music idol, Black Sherif, publicly.

According to her, she wants to avoid any drama by Ghanaians who will be quick to say she has a romantic relationship with the musician.

In a live session with her fans on social media, Efia Odo said, “I'm one of Blacko's biggest fans. But I don't like to promote it because of Ghanaians and their foolishness. You begin promoting someone's songs, and they start saying all sorts of things about you two.”

Efia Odo's comment seemed to be emerging from her past experiences with artists like Kwesi Arthur and King Promise.

She previously championed Kwesi Arthur's music, often sharing his work and making appearances at his shows.

But that connection with Kwesi fueled widespread rumours of a romantic relationship between the duo. The rumours further attracted intense trolls from netizens.

Efia Odo encountered the same situation when she publicly expressed admiration for musician King Promise ahead of the 2024 Ghana Telecel Music Awards, which for the second time led to speculations and criticisms, especially after King Promise missed out on the Artiste of the Year title.

She has clarified the nature of her relationship with fellow musician King Promise, emphasizing that they are nothing more than friends.

In a statement, Efia Odo stressed that their bond is purely platonic, and there are no romantic or sexual ties between them.

She acknowledged that their close friendship often leads to misunderstandings, with some assuming they are romantically involved."King Promise and I are just good friends. I've known him for a long time before he even became King Promise, I knew him as Greggi. There's absolutely no sexual relationship between us," Efia Odo explained.

In a different conversation, Efia Odo fiercely reacted to a comment from one X user questioning why she doesn't have a child at age 30.

It is not clear how a comment from @GOKUUL on X ["and you still not ready to give birth yet] made its way to Efia Odo.

However, she responded by stating confidently that she won't succumb to any societal pressure that leads to bringing forth an innocent child into a broken home.

"One thing yall not gone do is pressure me to give birth. I'm not bringing a child into a broken home, neither am I bringing a child into the world cuz society has told me that by 30's I should've given birth." she wrote on X.

Efia Odo added that she will be prouder to usher in a child into a stable home at age 40 than to do so at age 30 with a broken home.

"I'd rather wait till I'm even 40 knowing I'm bringing a child into a loving healthy home built on love and union. Y'all always talking down on born ones but stay pressuring women to give birth cuz you feel their time is up. No one can tell me what to do with my life and when to do it."
