Ghanaian movie star star, Mr. Beautiful claims credit for bringing celebrity political endorsement to the country.
In an interview with Amansan Krakye on Cape Coast’s Property FM, Mr. Beautiful claimed that when he supported former president Mahama in 2012, he was humiliated.
He continued by saying that other celebrities started going off on tangents after watching what he did.
“There’s politics in everything that we do in this life, and even in our homes where we stay, there is politics there. I was the one who introduced celebrity political endorsement in Ghana and that was in the year 2012 when I set the pace for others to follow.
“When I set the pace a lot of those in the kumawood movie industry insulted me and even denied me of movie roles by sidelining me. They did a lot against me but later they realized what I did was the right thing and in 2016 the likes of Agya Koo, Matilda Asare, and Lumba all joined but it was me Mr Beautiful that brought that thing,” he claimed.
