Highest Eri eats crow over Ga language slip

Nana Akua Appiah Nimah apologized to the Ga people after making comments about language choices for musicians. The media personality known as Highest Eri had told artist Manya Fi to sing more songs using Twi instead of Ga. Her advice angered many Ga community members, who felt she dismissed their native language. Highest Eri realized her words hurt people and decided to make a public apology. She spoke on the Hitz FM radio station to address the controversy directly.

Critics still felt upset about her original statements despite these personal ties. Highest Eri admitted her comments may have caused pain among Ga speakers. She expressed genuine regret for any harm her words caused.
