Ghanaian Afrobeats singer Olivetheboy has addressed the speculation surrounding his recent performance at the launch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Manifesto on August 12, 2024. Speaking in an interview with Abeiku Santana on Okay FM, the artist clarified that his involvement in the event was purely professional and not an endorsement of former President John Dramani Mahama or the NDC.
Olivetheboy, known for his hit singles “Asylum” and “Goodsin,” emphasized that his appearance should not be interpreted as aligning with any political party. “I didn’t endorse Mahama and his NDC party; it was strictly business. I was hired,” he stated, underscoring that his focus remains on his music and his fans rather than politics.
He further noted that he is open to performing for any political party, including the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Convention People’s Party (CPP), if invited. The singer, who also doubles as a songwriter, reiterated that his services as a performer are available to all, regardless of their political affiliations.
