Ghanaian artist Olivetheboy has addressed public concerns about his recent performance at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Manifesto launch.
Following the circulation of videos from the event on Monday, August 12, there have been rumors suggesting his affiliation with the party.
However, in an interview on Okay FM, Olivetheboy clarified that his appearance was purely professional and should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the NDC.
Olivetheboy explained that he was invited to perform by Sharaf Mahama, the son of former President John Mahama, and regarded the opportunity as a business engagement.
“I was hired to perform, just like I am billed at Afrochella or any other event. My performance is not tied to any political endorsement,” he stated.
The artiste further expressed his apolitical stance, saying, “If NPP calls me today, I will perform. If CPP comes tomorrow, I will still go and perform. I have friends from all political parties, and if I have been hired to perform, I surely will.”
Addressing the critics, Olivetheboy noted that while some may question his decision, his loyal fans understand that his focus is on his career and the need to make a living.
“I see all the critics and I don’t even bother myself to respond, my fans will do that for me. I also have fans who know it’s purely business because I need to make some money,” he concluded.
