Veteran Ghanaian filmmaker Socrate Safo has opened up about the late highlife legend Dada KD, revealing that the musician felt let down by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) despite campaigning for them in 2016.
According to Safo, Dada KD was a selfless entertainer who dedicated his talent to the party’s campaign trail without ever demanding payment. He described the singer as someone who was always ready to mount the stage and energize crowds purely out of passion.
However, behind this commitment was a sense of disappointment. Safo explained that while the NPP did not entirely abandon the artist, the level of recognition and appreciation he expected was not forthcoming.
He was quick to note that this was not about entitlement, stressing that beyond politics, the late musician earned admiration from Ghanaians through his artistry. Safo emphasized that Dada KD’s body of work secured him genuine respect nationwide and cemented his place among Ghana’s celebrated music icons.
