Tina Turner Statue Unveiled in Hometown, Faces Fan Backlash
A bronze statue of legendary singer Tina Turner was unveiled in her hometown of Brownsville, Tennessee, over the weekend. The statue, funded in part by Ford as part of its 'Good Neighbor Plan' for West Tennessee, was created by Atlanta-based sculptor Fred Ajanogha.
Ajanogha aimed to capture Turner's dynamic stage presence in his sculpture. The statue depicts Turner in a mini dress and high heels, her finger outstretched towards an unseen microphone, a pose reminiscent of her iconic performances. However, the statue has faced criticism from fans who argue it bears little resemblance to the singer, describing it as a 'travesty' and a 'crime against an icon'. Despite the controversy, the statue stands as a tribute to Turner's hometown and her enduring musical legacy.
The Tina Turner statue in Brownsville, Tennessee, has sparked debate among fans, with some appreciating the artistic interpretation of her stage presence, while others criticize its likeness. Regardless, it serves as a physical reminder of the singer's impact and her roots in the region.
