No amount of money can buy my endorsement for a political party in Ghana - Kinaata
In a recent interview on Nhyira FM monitored by News & Vibes, Ghanaian musician Kofi Kinaata made it clear that he will not endorse any political party, even for a staggering $1 million. His reason? The hostile political climate in Ghana that stigmatizes artistes who associate with political parties.
While Kofi Kinaata is open to performing at political gatherings if invited, he draws the line at composing campaign songs. When asked if he would accept a $1 million proposal, he emphatically declined, citing concerns about the negative impact on his reputation and career.
The musician lamented that Ghanaians fail to understand that artistes can perform at political events without being party members. He believes that the stigma attached to artistes who engage with political parties would dissipate if they were seen as simply doing their job, just like carpenters, electricians, and DJs who work at rallies.
Until the stigma is removed, Kofi Kinaata prefers to remain neutral, especially given the high political tensions in the country. He believes that God will select a winner, and after the elections, everyone can come together to support the victor.
Kofi Kinaata is a Ghanaian musician and songwriter who has made a significant impact on the music industry. Born Martin King Arthur, Kinaata is known for his unique style, which blends highlife, reggae, and hip-hop to create a distinctive sound.
