The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has reacted to the controversy around the music video shot by American rapper Meek Mill at the Jubilee House.
In a short statement by party Communications Director Richard Ahiagbah, he says the music video was not sanctioned by the Presidency.
“Meek Mill music’s video was not sanctioned by the Presidency. Its permission was not sought whatsoever for the use of the video. The musician has realised his indiscretion, apologised & taken down the video,” Mr. Ahiagbah said in a Tweet on Tuesday, January 10.
In the heat of things, Meek Mill on Monday pulled down the post containing his music video shot at the Jubilee House on social media.
He has also apologised to Ghanaians and assured that he never meant to disrespect the country or anyone.
“To the people of Ghana no video I drop is ever meant to disrespect the people of Ghana …. The fastest way to make connection is thru music and I wanted to do that with displaying art … im in my 30’s from America and didn’t know much about the lifestyle here.
“My apologies to the people if any disrespect! We still gonna push to make the connection between black people in America and Africa … what I’m trying to do is more than a video and you should see coming soon! My apologies to the office also,” Meek Mill stressed.
