Okraku-Mantey argued in August 2024 that Kwabena Kwabena’s career flourished following his endorsement of the NPP, citing the singer’s increased popularity after releasing the song “NPP Wo Soro.”
However, during an interview with Okay FM on September 9, 2024, Kwabena Kwabena dismissed these comments, describing them as “unfortunate.” He recalled being a famous artist well before his political endorsements, referencing his 2005 hit song “Aso,” which had already propelled him to fame both in Ghana and internationally.
Kwabena Kwabena’s manager, Nana Poku Ashis, also spoke out, explaining that while the singer initially faced little impact from his 2008 NPP endorsement, he encountered challenges after the party’s loss in 2012, including backlash from fans and declining show attendance.
Despite these setbacks, Ashis emphasised that Kwabena Kwabena’s growth was due to his own hard work and not any direct support from the NPP, even after they won the 2016 elections.
Kwabena Kwabena has since distanced himself from political matters and is currently promoting his new gospel track “Fakye Me” from his upcoming EP, God of Restoration.
