Award-winning singer Jane Fara Fauzzier Afia Boafowaa Yahaya Awindor, better known by her stage name Efya, has spoken out about her extended hiatus from the music industry, claiming that she was dealt a broken heart.

It should be noted that she hasn’t released a song or project in a while, and every time she makes the news, it’s implied that she was under the influence of drugs at the events she went to.
Efya was asked about her absence from the music scene in an interview with AJ Sarpong, and she gave the reason that she had a broken heart from someone.
She claimed that because she was experiencing so much emotion, it interfered with her ability to sing. As a result, she decided to stop making music and to avoid being in public for a while.
She said: “My heart was broken, I was heartbroken that I didn’t want to sing. You know I’m a baby girl so the way I feel matters to me a lot and it wasn’t something I wanted to deal with at that time.
“Also, I’ve been working for 15 years without break and in between these times I’ve been performing on all the shows and still representing. And I think I gave everyone their feature.” she concluded.
