Didn’t Endorse NDC, I Was Hired And Paid To Perform, It Was Strictly Business – Olivetheboy Claims

Addressing the issue of his performance, Olivetheboy clarified that his appearance at the event was strictly professional
Speaking to Abeiku Santana in an interview on Okay FM, the singer emphasized that his performance was not an endorsement of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
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 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.”
Addressing the critics, Olivetheboy noted that while some may question his decision, his loyal fans understand that his focus is on his career and the need to make a living.
“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.
