I was naked for a scene during ‘One More’ video shoot with Samini – Stephanie Benson
Singer Stephanie Benson and Dancehall artiste Samini got Ghanaians talking when they released the steamy music video for their song One More.
Nearly five years down the line, Stephanie Benson has opened up on the shooting process.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM, Stephanie revealed that she was naked during the bathtub scene.
According to her, she was initially in a bathrobe but had to take it off to join Samini, who was in the tub, for shooting to begin.
She explained that Samini did not make a fuss although he was not informed she would be naked during the shoot.
According to her, she assured Samini of taking the lead if he felt uncomfortable at any point in time and was unsure how far she would go.
She noted that the dancehall artiste, popularly known as “Batman” was relaxed due to this assurance.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Benson has explained that as a mother of five, she is used to health professionals and others seeing her naked.
Because of that, the musician said she no longer sees it as a big deal when she is seen nude.
The ‘One More’ promo pictures released in 2017, showed Benson in sexy black lingerie. The images of the duo left fans speechless.
The two were seen kissing and making out in the video. There was also a shower scene and a pool scene where the singer was seen wearing a bikini and Samini was shirtless.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
