Ghanaian rapper D-Black
Rapper and CEO of Black Avenue Music, D-Black, has in a series of posts on his Twitter handle, lamented the state of the country’s economy while expressing regrets for supporting the current Akufo-Addo-led administration.
His outburst originated from a throwback post that cited him praising the finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, and President Nana Akufo-Addo for a reduction in taxes and the low cost of buying spare parts.
In a series of rants on Twitter, D-Black lamented the high cost of living in the country, whiles withdrawing the praises he rained on the government sometime in 2017.
In a new twist to events, D-Black now shares the assertion that the reduced taxes for which he praised the government back in 2017 was a tactic to lure citizens to believe a false sense of comfort.
"Chale this be the wagadriii dem take catch we all. No be me p3," he expressed in English and the Akan language.
Replying to fans on claims that he had been silent on the country's current state, D-Black wrote,
"Never quiet. We in a big mess right now . And we gotta rise to make a change . Or make we move go kenya ?" he called.
D-Black joins a list of celebrities who have regretted their open support for the current government due to economic hardships.
Earlier, actor Prince David Osei lamented on Twitter about the high cost of living in the country, 3 years after openly declaring his support for the NPP party.
