Ghanaian socialite, influencer, and singer, Hajia4Real, has stated that she titled her new EP 'Here to Stay' because that title signifies her plans for the Ghanaian music industry.
According to her, it’s been two years long since she launched her music career in Ghana and so she wanted to remind Ghanaians, especially her critics, who said she will not be able to sustain in the music industry, that she was here.
“I just wanted to remind people that I’m truly here to stay. I’m living my dream of always wanting to be a singer,” Mona said in an interview with OnePlayAfrica.
Hajia4Real also added that she’s always been ready for every jab that came from people because at the beginning of her musical career she knew her voice wasn’t ready, but she felt it was time to make an entry into the industry.

She said even bigger artistes get a lot of bashing so she’s okay with her critics.
It only means she’s doing something that Ghanaians like, she said, in response to a question about how she handles her numerous critics.
"I have been holding back for a very long time, my dreams were just too big and I just didn't know the right time to come out. Also, I have wanted to do all the rehearsals, work on my voice, and everything before I come out but after 2020 with the covid, a lot happened and I just realised that time waits for nobody. If you wanna do something, now is the time to do that and that is what I am doing.
"Coming out, I was prepared for everything that comes with it. I take the good ones from it, some people are just making noise for nothing but some people actually want you to work on maybe your voice, or something. I appreciate those things, I take the good out of them. I am used to it (criticisms) and I see that I'm not the only person people talk about. They talk about everybody even Shatta Wale, Stonebowy, and Beyoncé, so it is a normal thing", she said.
Also speaking on why she loves the colour pink, the songstress said it’s the colour that makes her happy.
She said she’s always loved that colour since her infancy.
However, she doesn’t like men who wear pink because, according to her, pink is for only girls.
Hajia4Reall made an entrance into the music industry with her hit song ‘Badder Than’ in 2020.
She later released her first EP ‘Here to Stay’ in October 2021.
The EP has seven tracks: 'Hero', 'Zaddy’s Girl' Ft. Medikal, 'Hit' Ft. Stonebwoy, 'Party Everyday Baby' Ft. Shatta Wale, 'Gimme Dat' Ft. Efya, and 'Bad Girl'.
