Insults and false accusations against politicians must stop - Ras Kuuku

Ghanaian dancehall artiste Ras Kuuku has waded into the ongoing national debate over insults and online attacks against political figures.

He called on the youth to put a stop to attacks directed at President John Dramani Mahama and other political leaders.

Speaking in an interview with Hitz FM on Monday, July 27, 2026, the reggae and dancehall act said the level of insults and false accusations being hurled at politicians had gone too far and needed to stop.

"The insults against politicians are getting too much. We should put a stop to it. We can criticise. But the insults and false accusations, let us do away with that," he said.

According to Ras Kuuku, employing someone does not give you the right to insult them.

"You can't insult your own uncle. If you have a business and you employ your uncle and he's not doing a good job, will you insult him?

"So we have employed the president; if he's not doing well, let us tell him. If you insult him, it means you are ignoring his work and attacking him personally," he said.

The artiste made clear that such conduct would not be tolerated, urging the public to channel their frustrations through constructive engagement rather than personal attacks.

"We can't and we will never take it. Let us move from the insults and the false accusations and rather criticise the government constructively", he said.

His comments come amid a highly publicised crackdown on content creators who have been arrested for posting videos on TikTok and other social media platforms containing insults, death threats and abusive content targeting the president, his family, the vice president and other high-profile individuals.
