Kwame Asare Obeng popularly known as A Plus has exposed musician Kwabena Kwabena for stating that he was not paid for the use of his campaign song (Vote Number 1) by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a post sighted by Ghana’s Hub For Pop Culture & Urban Entertainment News Website – www.nydjlive.com, A Plus called out the musician and asked him not to be ungrateful especially since he (A Plus) led him (Kwabena Kwabena) in collecting some of the monies.
He wrote:
“It’s not true!!! I took him to Ken Ofori Atta and Nana Poku at Data Bank where he was paid about 45 thousand cedis for the song. He was later paid another 25 thousand cedis for the music video (that was the money we used to pay for the Infiniti) and another 30 thousand to promote the song. In all, he received about 100 thousand Ghana cedis.
This does not include the two thousand Ghana he received each time he performed at a believe in Ghana concerts; there were about 12 concerts in all, and the 20 thousand Ghana cedis Nana Addo gave to him at Golden Tulip Kumasi when we went for the last Ashanti region rally.
Don’t be ungrateful!! #justfortherecord.”
Kwabena Kwabena in a recent interview with Nana Aba Anamoah on Starr FM revealed the song was made out of his love for the candidate now President Akufo-Addo.
“The song wasn’t sponsored nor paid for by anyone from the party, I did it out of the love for Nana Akufo-Addo who was the flagbearer.
Though I wasn’t expecting anything, even God who created his word always needs us to show gratitude, that’s why he expects us to worship him all the time,“ he said.
The popular song which was released in 2016 was reused in the 2020 campaign by the governing NPP
