The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah has slammed allegations that the Presidency approved the shooting of a music video at the Jubilee House by American rapper Meek Mill.
He said the rap superstar did the controversial video at the blind side of authorities at the seat of the presidency.
In a post on Facebook, Mr. Ahiagbah said Meek Mill made a mistake with the video and he has apologized.
”Meek Mill’s music video was not sanctioned by the Presidency. Its permission was not sought whatsoever for the use of the video. The musician has realized his indiscretion, apologised & taken down the video,” Mr Ahiagba explained in a Facebook post.
Meek Mill deleted the viral video on Monday, January 9, 2023.
Also in a series of tweets Monday evening, the Philadelphia rap star apologised in no equivocal terms.
“To the people of Ghana,” he began, “No video I drop is ever meant to disrespect the people of Ghana…”
“The fastest way to make connection[s] is [through] music and I wanted to do that with displaying [my] art…,” he explained.
“I’m in my 30’s from America and didn’t know much about the lifestyle [culture] here,” he revealed.
“My apologies to the people [in case of] any disrespect!” he stressed in the follow-up tweet.
Meanwhile the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has slammed the government for allowing Meek Mill to shoot a video at the presidency.
