Diva 1 is the torchbearer of contemporary Music in Tamale

Who is Diva 1?

She is arguably the most prolific female musical gem blessing the Tamale music scene; her energetic, and animated performances continue to serve as a thrill wherever she performs. With a laudable vocal strength, she matches her male counterparts with frequent releases.

Her consistency in the industry exudes the characteristics of a focused individual. One might attribute her resilience to a formidable team, but the enigmatic performer is yet to land a record deal – if you are looking to manage or produce an artiste whose skill and commitment to the art is peerless, then you should reach out to her.

Life & Music of Diva 1

She remains one of the most consistent female artistes from Tamale. Not only is she consistent, but she is also respected as the foremost talent amongst her peers in contemporary music. Joggling between rap, dancehall, and rap, her versatility makes her one of the best musicians from Tamale.

Diva 1 Goes for Beef

In an obvious display of temerity, the high-energy performer has dropped another song titled “drop that sh*t”. Unfortunately, the lyrics and tone of the song professes insecurity. The song makes her appear to be threatened by the emergence of a particular new artiste.  Performed in Dagbani, English & Pidgin, Diva 1 jabs an unnamed person she referred to as “Local Girl”.

Diva 1 doesn’t seem to rest on her oars, a demeanour that has got her performing different genres effortlessly. However, her recent singled titled “drop that sh*t” may cast a dent on what she represents as a brand; Diva 1 appears to have thrown caution to the wind and launched an unwarranted attack on another artiste.

Even though goes at her target without explicitly stating who it is, one doesn’t need a soothsayer to detect the animosity deeply enshrined in “drop that sh*t”.

Tamale has been saddled with so much musical “beef”, a situation that transcends the loyalty of fans. Whilst “beef” has culminated into success for some artistes, it’s also led others to an abyss, an oblivion beyond redemption.

For the budding industry to truly become a huge economic success, tact and strategy must dominate the actions or inactions of artistes. To survive a religiously polarized society, one needs to employ a lot of thought into all they do.

Whilst many might jump to an explicit and raunchy song, they will rather patronize music that entertains and educates them wholly in a very creative way. So, the release of “drop that sh*t” is not only a deviation from the fun-nature of Diva 1’s songs but an attempt at confusing some of us who have fallen in love with what she brings to the musical buffet.

As one of the few ladies giving the male dominated music industry in Tamale a true taste of what a lady-musician brings to the table; shifting focus from entertaining music to war-like music is not in your best interest.  The gangster posturing of artistes in the name of appearing street comes with a price, and if that’s the path she has chosen to travel, she should state that explicitly.

Tamale’s Diva 1 has made a significant shift in her music, opting for a more confrontational approach. The artist’s recent discography and collaborations showcase a departure from her previous style. However, it is important for Diva 1 to explicitly acknowledge the implications of this new direction, as it involves adopting a street persona. Controversy continues to surround Tamale’s music scene.
