Popular singer Joseph Akinfenwaa Donus, aka Joeboy, has revealed the inspiration behind his hit song ‘Better.’
The singer explained that he wrote the song in a bid to shed light on domestic violence against women.
He disclosed this in a recent interview with popular media personality, Vivz.
Joeboy stated that sometimes women are not treated “properly” in African society.
The host said: “‘Better’ is my favourite song ever. In that song, it’s like you’re speaking up for a woman that has been treated badly by another man.”
Joeboy said: “It’s something that happens a lot in African society; domestic abuse. Sometimes women are maltreated and not treated properly. I wanted to shed light on domestic violence against women.”
He also spoke on his introverted nature, stressing that being introverted and calm gets bad press sometimes, especially in showbiz. Joeboy then encouraged aspiring musicians who are introverted like him saying that they can make it in music just the way they are.
"I think sometimes there are negative connotations to being introverted, especially when it comes to showbiz," he said.
Joeboy stressed that despite the misconceptions about introverted singers, he was able to make it big.
