Cardi B, US rapper, has opposed the jailing of Akuapem
Poloo, a Ghanaian actress convicted over an unclad photoshoot with her son in June
2020.
The Circuit Court sitting in Accra had sentenced Poloo to
three months in jail over the social media post.
The photo, which attracted criticism, had shown her unclad in
front of her son, who was dressed only in underwear. The photoshoot was used to
mark the boy’s seventh birthday.
Reacting to the verdict, Cardi B took to Twitter on Saturday
to describe the judge’s decision as overkill.
Noting that she has seen many of such photoshoots in the US,
the singer said a social media probation or community service would have
sufficed.
“Even tho is not my style I don’t think she was going for
sexual more going the natural idea. I think jail is a bit harsh. Maybe social
media probation or community service,” the rapper’s tweet read in part.
I seen a lot of Americans do photoshoots like that .Even tho is not my style I don’t think she was going for sexual more going the natural idea.I think jail is a bit harsh .Maybe social media probation or community service. https://t.co/ncdwvggvFK

After the court’s verdict, Poloo had said: “Guys, you know
your girl is strong. Sometimes in life, you have to pass through some things to
make you strong enough to get to somewhere. I know it’s a test I have to go
through.
“I’m strong, you guys know that. All that I need is your prayer and support. I’ll back with you guys. Thanks to my Nigerian and Ghanaian celebrities and others who have supported me to this point. I know you people love me and I love you too.”
