According to the "Jeje" singer, certain people's mind-set in the music industry is leading to the discrimination of the plus-size female artistes in the music industry.

She added that "if a female artiste is big does not mean she does not have talent or the person deserves less in the industry."

She further indicated that the music industry is not for only slim ladies and that there're a lot of plus-size ladies out there who have enormous talents to showcase to the world.

"Because people are looking skinny does not mean the industry is for skinny females. Stop trying to sabotage people, there are a lot of big girls out there who have multiple talents, and they know what they're doing."

"Don't to put that out there for people to strain themselves, like you are trying to take people's dreams away. Don't be making such comments on radio and TV stations," Sista Afia said.
