US rapper Meek Mill Apologizes after the backlash for recording Music Video in Ghanaian Presidential Palace

January 10, 2023 by AFRIPOL Leave a Comment

The popular American rapper Meek Mill has apologized to the citizens of Ghana  in response to his music video filmed at the Presidential Jubilee building in Ghana. Recently in Ghana during the Black Star Line Festival, rapper Meek Mill was a guest of the President of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo. Afterwards, he filmed a music video in the presidential House and that did not sit well with people of Ghana.

In the defense of Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo’s defense, the rapper said, “I don’t think they knew it was video footage when we asked to shoot. Its a small camera and one kid … in America we didn’t know this existed and [I] was excited to show [it] because they don’t show Ghana on our media much.”

He tweeted: “My apologies to the people if any disrespect! We still gonna push to make the connection between black people in America and Africa … what I’m trying to do is more than a video and you should see coming soon! My apologies to the the office also!”

My apologies to the people if any disrespect! We still gonna push to make the connection between black people in America and Africa … what I’m trying to do is more than a video and you should see coming soon! My apologies to the the office also!

To the people of Ghana no video I drop is ever meant to disrespect the people of Ghana …. The fastest way to make connection is thru music and I wanted to do that with displaying art … im in my 30’s from America and didn’t know much about the lifestyle here
