It’s strictly business, not an endorsement – Olivetheboy on his NDC Performance

Olivetheboy explained that he received an invitation to perform from Sharaf Mahama, son of former President John Mahama, and viewed the opportunity as a business engagement.

“I was hired to perform, just like I am billed at Afrochella or any other event. My performance is not tied to any political endorsement,” he stated.

The artiste further expressed his apolitical stance, saying, “If the NPP calls me today, I will perform. If the CPP comes tomorrow, I will still go and perform. I have friends from all political parties, and if I have been hired to perform, I surely will.”

“I see all the critics and I don’t even bother myself to respond; my fans will do that for me. I also have fans who know it’s purely business because I need to make some money,” he concluded.

The singer performed at the much-anticipated NDC Youth Manifesto launch, which took place at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) on August 12, 2024.

While the event was centred around political discourse, the electrifying performance by Olivetheboy captured the attention of many and sparked intense reactions across social media platforms.

Olivetheboy, as always, did not disappoint, performing some of his most popular hits. The crowd’s energy was palpable, with attendees singing along and waving flags in support of the NDC’s youth agenda.
