I didn’t endorse John Mahama or the NDC; It was strictly business – Olivetheboy on his performance at the Launch of NDC’s Youth Manifesto
Following his performance at the launch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth manifesto on Monday, August 12, 2024, Ghanaian afrobeats singer, Olivetheboy has clarified that his involvement in the event was purely professional.
The artist, known for his hit singles such as ‘Asylum’ and ‘Goodsin’, as well as his growing influence in the Ghanaian music industry, emphasized that his appearance should not be misconstrued as an endorsement of former President John Dramani Mahama, who is currently the presidential candidate for the NDC party.
Speaking in an interview with Abeiku Santana on Okay FM, Olivetheboy detailed that his performance was a business arrangement, akin to any other professional engagement.
“I didn’t endorse Mahama and his NDC party; it was strictly business. I was hired,” he stated, seeking to distance himself from any political affiliations.
The music sensation reiterated that as a musician, his focus is on his craft and connecting with fans, not on partisan politics.
The singer, who doubles as a songwriter also made it clear that his services as a performer are available to any political party, including the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Convention People’s Party (CPP).
“I am open to performing for any other political party, such as the NPP and CPP, if I am invited to their events,” he added.
