I’m self made, Beyoncé did not make me popular – Chimamanda Adichie

Grant winning Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has communicated frustration over news making the rounds that American artist, Beyoncé Knowles, made her prevalent.

One of Beyoncé's single 'Perfect', purportedly tested a discourse and book-length exposition: 'We Should All Be Feminists', by Adichie and the news drifted on the online networking that the book went for giving a meaning of women's liberation for the 21st century, accomplished close to nothing or nothing until the vocalist stressed it in her tune.

However, the essayist said she was stunned at what number of solicitations for a meeting she got when that tune was discharged, with the claim that the tune tossed her further into spotlight.

In a meeting with Dutch daily paper: de Volkskrant, Adichie said, "I think Beyoncé is flawless and I am persuaded that she doesn't have anything however the best aims.

“In addition, Beyoncé is a celebrity of the first order and with this song she has reached many people who would otherwise probably never have heard the word feminism, let alone gone out and buy my essay, but I was shocked about how many requests for an interview I received when that song was released.

“Literally every major newspaper in the world wanted to speak with me about Beyoncé and how she gave me fame. I felt such resentment. I thought: are books really that unimportant to you?

“Another thing I hated was that I read everywhere: now people finally know her, thanks to Beyoncé, or: she must be very grateful. I found that disappointing.

“I thought: I am a writer, self made, and I have been for some time and I refuse to perform in this charade that is now apparently expected of me: ‘Thanks to Beyoncé, my life will never be the same again.’

“That’s why I didn’t speak about it much.
“Still, her type of feminism is not mine. As it is the kind that, at the same time, gives quite a lot of space to the necessity of men.
“I think men are lovely, but I don’t think that women should relate everything they do to men: did he hurt me, do I forgive him, did he put a ring on my finger? We women are so conditioned to relate everything to men.

“Put a group of women together and the conversation will eventually be about men. Put a group of men together and they will not talk about women at all, they will just talk about their own stuff.

“We women should spend about 20% of our time on men, because it’s fun, but otherwise we should also be talking about our own stuff,” she added.
