NDC has not sent me to destroy King Paluta – KOKA clarifies

KOKA has firmly rubbished trending reports that he has been tasked by the opposition NDC to destroy King Paluta.

During an exclusive interview on Hitz FM, KOKA negated the rumours that he has been contracted by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to discredit King Paluta’s talent.

The rumour that KOKA has been tasked by the NDC to tarnish King Paluta’s image followed his criticism that the singer sings off-key.

Setting the record straight, KOKA stated, “I’ve read on social media that I’m an NDC boy and I’ve been paid by the party. Meanwhile, I’m an NPP.

"I work for Bawumia. A lot of our people have not even listened to the song. And I think what I said has given them the opportunity to go listen to his songs. And then the fiasco of the wack performance he gave at Party in the Park; gradually, the bash for me had suppressed that.

"I’m not against him. I stream his song. I’m Ashanti. He’s an Ashanti boy. For the longest time, we have not had dominance from the Ashanti region. So, if our own has come and I’m speaking good about it, I don’t see why people should take me on and chastise me.”

He defended his stance on King Paluta’s voice, insisting that more work needs to be done on his singing in order to ensure an improvement in his craft. “he needs to work on his singing… We should help him.

"Those who claim to be music people should try and score the song… and see if what I’m saying is a lie. A lot of people don’t think I know or understand music. The fact that I don’t have the voice to sing does not mean I don’t understand what I do.”
