Reflecting on the situation, Kuami Eugene said, “I often wonder, did I never see all the good works of Mahama? I was admitted to a hospital built by him after my accident. How can I ignore the impact he has made?”

The Happy Day collaboration with Sarkodie, which was released in late 2020, has drawn significant criticism and scrutiny, particularly from those who interpret it as an endorsement of the NPP. Despite his intentions, the association has burdened him, leading to a sense of disillusionment.

“I didn’t expect the conversation to take such a political turn,” he lamented. “Now, I find myself in a position where I have to clarify my stance repeatedly, explaining that I am not part of any political narrative.”

His comments have sparked discussions among fans and the public, with many questioning how the song’s meaning shifted from its original intent.
