Gyakie, whose real name is Jackline Acheampong, is a Ghanaian musician who has talked candidly about the extreme strain she endured in the early stages of her career.

The gifted performer opened up on BBC Africa that she frequently felt so overwhelmed—even to the point of tears—by the high expectations of both fans and management.

Gyakie reflected on that time, saying, "I will take a tissue and cry if I am being pushed or yelled at.

Therefore, I dislike being accosted and yelled at.
