Nehanda: such a queen!

I've just watched her latest thread demonstrating the kind of abuse she receives from men while busking.

x.com/nehandamusic/status/1852128120318411063?s=46&t=A2fpFNgDRyXF2d6ye97wEA

She's got an absolutely fantastic voice and is an accomplished song writer.

Over and over again it's a man attempting to seek attention, disrupt her set, wind her up, physically touch her in some way or actually be verbally and physically abusive.

She's filmed it all and cut it into sections for the thread.

For those not on Twitter he asked her to put a cigarette in his lips which she refused to do. She called him sir and he began to claim to be a woman and gave his womanly name. Obviously she disagreed which is where he began to continue to argue with her, wind her up and invade her personal space.

A number of women came to her aid (she clearly also has a very young fan base!) but he said he'd only move for a man. And pointed to a man. Who obliged and chased him off.

He returned and started threatening people with a pumpkin. Which Nehanda managed to grab before a man (the same? Not sure) pushed him away.

He still refused to go and it looks like eventually primark security helped, I can't tell.

Adding a screen shot of her describing another incident.

Why why why why why are men like this so entitled?

Fuck! He seems quite well spoken as well, aside from the swearing and the batshit. He towers over her too. I wonder of He was drunk, high, mentally ill or just your common or garden entitled bloke.

What ever his background he's extremely keen to push and break her boundaries and feels entitled to do so.

This is the woman he threatened to throw a pumpkin at.

"Bless this woman for standing up to him…he was very much threatening to throw a pumpkin at her seconds before this…"

Somewhere in the footage a teen boy is seen mocking him.

I’m lucky enough to know Nehanda in real life. She is an amazing woman.

WarriorN · 01/11/2024 14:03

Oh wow! Please pass on my best wishes!

Looking through more of her recent videos and there's just so many men who are inappropriate to her.

Ovaries of steel.

Will do! She is such a warrior and one of the loveliest, friendliest people you could meet too.

I love Nehanda, she is so articulate and works so hard at her music.

One of my favourite songs is her track ‘Too Strong’ it’s about the ridiculous sexist shite that women have to put up with. I bought it the minute I heard it.

I’m so sorry (and angry) that she had to deal with this prick bothering her.

SallyForf · 01/11/2024 15:37

I felt so anxious watching the clips, you all will know that stomach clench reaction. That man was really scary.

lcakethereforeIam · 01/11/2024 16:31

She was a star, dealing with him and also with the guy trying to help Hmm but just as likely to escalate the situation.

Redshoeblueshoe · 01/11/2024 18:51

She is fantastic.

I'm impressed at the courage of the bystanders who tried to help, particularly the lady who was then threatened with having a pumpkin thrown at her. Many people would have just walked past and thought 'not my problem' or 'oh God, that's got the possibility of kicking off' if they saw an obviously aggressive man trying to intimidate.

It's unsettling how many times that Nehanda has to deal with weird behaviour from creepy men who feel entitled to get into her space.

HerGorgeousMajestyArabellaScott · 02/11/2024 10:27

God save us from entitled men.

JazzyJelly · 02/11/2024 10:31

What a creep. She handled that really well.

TwistedWonder · 02/11/2024 11:36

But this never happens they only want to live their lives in peace and pee quietly - apparently

Vegemiteandhoneyontoast · 02/11/2024 12:52

He's an arsehole and she's a total Queen, love her.

And she reminds me a bit of my little sister, which is even better.
