Popular filmmaker, Jackson K Bentum, also father to young Kumawood actress, Yaa Jackson, has for the first time spoken about his daughter’s pursuit in the showbiz industry. Bentum, in an interview with Accra-based Hitz FM said Yaa is 19 years old and not the 17 years she made people believe.
Yaa’s father revealed that he never forced her into acting as she was only 2 years old when she made her movie debut.
“She might have said that I forced her into acting out of interview pressure,” Jackson Bentum said.
The young actress was condemned heavily in the media for claiming that she dated and dumped an old MP because he “refused to pay”. She also said her attires costed not less than 1,000 cedis, indicating that she is a rich girl. Yaa Jackson also released a single in which she said that she would never date a man who cannot afford a brand new car.
Mr. Bentum rejected reports which portrayed his daughter as arrogant. According to him, those reports were coming out due to a fake account on social media that is impersonating his daughter with a very rude character.
He added that they have reported that particular page to Facebook countless times but that hasn’t yielded any positive result yet.
