Ghanaian Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Joel Ofori Bonsu, known by the stage name OliveTheBoy, has said that his recent performance at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Manifesto launch is not an endorsement.
His statement comes after Olivetheboy was seen performing at different events organized by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
However, in an interview on Okay FM, the Asylum hitmaker explained that he was invited by the son of former President John Mahama, Sharaf Mahama and viewed it 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, If NPP calls me today, I will perform. If 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,” he stated.
OliveTheboy further clarified that his loyal fans understand his performances are strictly business and would reply to critics accordingly.
“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.
