Renowned Ghanaian movie director Jackson K. Bentum has finally broken his silence on the ongoing public scrutiny surrounding his daughter, Yaa Jackson.
Yaa Jackson is an actress and singer known as much for her talent as for her daring fashion choices and bold personality.
Over the years, Yaa has sparked heated conversations across social media with her eye-catching outfits and sensual photos.
While some applaud her confidence and fearless expression, others argue that her image clashes with traditional Ghanaian values.
For a long time, critics have wondered how her father, a respected figure in Ghana’s film industry, feels about her lifestyle.
Now, in a candid interview on SeanCity TV with Ruthy and Busumuru Sean Kingston, Jackson K. Bentum is setting the record straight.
“Yaa is over 18, there’s very little I can do to control her personal choices,” he stated calmly, acknowledging the reality many parents of adult children face.
But Bentum was quick to clarify that there’s more to Yaa’s public image than meets the eye.
According to him, her lifestyle is not about recklessness, but rather part of the brand strategy that drives her success in the entertainment world.
“She’s managed by a professional team, and most of what people see is part of the business of showbiz. It’s not just about being provocative, it’s about visibility, relevance, and building a brand.”
However, the proud father also revealed that his daughter has transformed in recent months, especially after becoming a mother.
“She’s changed a lot since giving birth. Even during movie shoots now, she declines to wear revealing clothes. Motherhood has brought out a more reserved side of her.”
Through his words, Jackson K. Bentum painted a more complete picture of Yaa Jackson, one that goes beyond the headlines and social media noise.
A young woman navigating fame, pressure, and identity, all while growing and evolving in her own time.
