Grandfather of hiplife, Reggie Rockstone has personally advised women in the industry to stand for themselves against the segregation that has been put in place to pull them down.

He particularly referred to Eno Barony, who had earlier asked the Ghanaian media to stop labeling women in the industry as "Female Aristes" because nobody refers to the men as "Male artistes".

Reggie described it as bullying of the female sector.

The veteran highlighted this while making an appearance on the YFM Myd Morning Show as part of the Made In Ghana month celebration according to e.TV Ghana. He said that he has always felt the need to put female musicians in his works because he is always glad when songstress like Eno Barony is doing well in the industry.

“I want Eno to listen to this. I want Freda Rhymes to listen to this. I want all you females to listen to this. From the very inception or beginning of hiplife, I included women straight. Ms. Naa is on a song with me called death for life.

"There was always that inclusion which I felt was very necessary. So if I see the likes of Eno rapping then I get excited. From the very beginning, I knew it was necessary to do so”.

“Females who are on the mic, don’t let them bully you with that tag, ‘female emcee’. You are an emcee! You are a rapper! I am saying this because this is what they do to bamboozle the women. ‘Oh the female rappers, oh the African rapper’. No! Sarkodie is a rapper. He is just a rapper from Africa. Rap does not need physical strength. It is about the brain and tongue”, he added

He digressed into narrating how people looked down on him when he first started out as an artist.

“There was another fraction of elite Ghanaians who looked down on me rapping in my own language. This is a story that a lot of people don’t like to admit. When I started rapping in twi, some of the ‘dadabees’ and elites were frowning on it. They said it was too local and all but today, egg in their face”, he said.
