Rapper and singer Barima Sydney firmly has stated that he would not create any song as compensation for former President John Dramani Mahama, despite suggestions from certain individuals.
This decision comes in light of the significant harm caused by his Papa No song to Mr Mahama and the NDC’s prospects leading up to the 2020 elections.
While he has expressed remorse for his actions, he categorically rejects the idea of producing a song for Mahama to be utilized as a political campaign anthem.
He stated, “If I should do another song that the former president Mahama should find solace in, that one fine but I don’t think officially I’ll do a song to reverse what I did earlier.”
“I don’t see why I would go back to do another song to compensate him; as for that one no but maybe if I do a song and he finds solace in it”.
He continued “I’ve already said my Papa No song wasn’t referring to John Mahama it was the video that people did and used my song in it that’s what I’m apologizing for,” he told Amansan Krakye on Property FM.
Tru News Report earlier shared that Sydney issued a sincere apology to former president John Dramani Mahama for his involvement in popularizing the term Papa No almost four years ago.
The term was coined to refer to an unidentified influential political figure who was allegedly involved with women in the entertainment industry.
Initially used by Tracey Boakye and Gloria Kani during an online exchange of insults, the controversy later dragged Mzbel into the mix.
Some individuals linked the term to John Dramani Mahama, and political analysts believe that the ensuing drama may have contributed to the NDC’s defeat in the 2020 elections.
Sydney’s decision to create a song based on the term led to Mr. Mahama’s images being associated with the track, although the musician has clarified that he was not aware of this.
