Highlife legend Ben Brako has given the reason behind posing half-naked with his wife.
The 66 year old musician posted the picture with his wife cladded in beads and African cloth on social media and his fans did not take kindly to it.
However in a post on facebook, he explains:
“Seems some people have not followed the sequence of events that led to me posting a picture of me and my wife in an intimate pose.
"First I posted a beautiful picture of my wife in a classy traditional pose. Somebody suggested that I was like exploiting the feminism of my wife, and that I should post a shot of myself in a similar setting. I obliged only because I wanted it known that I'm comfortable in myself to project images that reflect my heritage in a tasty setting.
"Let me be clear. In an era where we're so mixed up in our mentality that we accept English as our national language, where our national anthem is an English song with English lyrics, where our people are obliged to dress like foreigners to work and play, it is important that someone stands up to declare that our heritage and culture have an important place in our national discourse and should have the pride of place in our lives.
"This I'm doing in my own unobtrusive way which I'm very comfortable with. If even one young person gets inspired by this it would have been worthwhile. I have always loved natural poses a la Baya album photo. I as an African man of Ghanaian descent am portraying myself in a way I'm comfortable and happy with. If you are not happy with that, fine. Don't go take a flying jump, but if you did I would not stop you”.

why diddnt u write everything in twi or Akan then.... if u dont want to accept english as our national language
Because u are an African we should see your nakedness? If i get your wife i go chop am well give u.
Did he say he is African of Ghanaian decent? This looks more like a Somalian to me.
u are definetly on drugs
This woman doesn’t respect herself, has no dignity and doesn’t value her womanhood. As for Ben you’ve revealed that you’re a p e r v e r t. At your age do you now feel like exposing yourself? Are u a pr0stitute?
You must be tried for public indecency
Shame
I wish you hadn't spoken at all.To me you've made a bad situation worse
There is no need for you to explain this. The bottom line is you need not have done this. This is a disgraceful and a shameful act. My advise for you is to apologize to the whole world particularly Ghanaians. Do not defend it because you will be worsening your case. The wrath would be more if you try to defend it.
