Ghanaian artiste Gyakie has opened up about the altercation involving her manager, Electro Mirror, and security personnel at the 2023 AfroNation festival in Portugal.
Speaking to Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz on Friday, May 23, 2025, she described the incident as one she finds difficult to revisit due to the unpleasant memories it evokes.
“I really wish I was able to answer this particular question at the time, because it’s like anytime I have to talk about it, it kind of opens wounds that have already been healed,” she said.
She added, “What happened, and the fact that I actually had a performance on that day, is not something I would wish on anyone. I had to prepare for the stage, and I had to experience all that happened.”
The Forever hitmaker said the incident triggered a flurry of calls. “It made me see things differently,” she noted.
Gyakie further advised that the entertainment business comes with challenges, urging industry players to exercise more caution in how they navigate it.
In June 2023, a video that went viral on social media showed Gyakie’s manager, Electro Mirror, being manhandled by some uniformed security personnel, to the horror of onlookers.
The video, shared by George Britton, featured George’s panicked voice in the background as he reproached the security officers for their actions.
Mirror was seen pinned to the floor while about five security men held him in a chokehold as he gasped for air.
Meanwhile, Gyakie is preparing to release her debut album after previously dropping two EPs. She has already released the first single titled Sankofa, off the upcoming album After Midnight.
