The campaign song "Emmoa Asem Nkoaa" is not disrespectful to Mahama.

based on Ghanaian celebrities. The Great Ampong, also known as Isaiah Kwadwo Ampong, is a Ghanaian gospel artist who has denied allegations that his political song, Emmoa Asem Nkoaa, is an attack to former President John Dramani Mahama. The gospel legend explained that the song, which has generated discussions on social media, is not meant to make fun of the former president or National Democratic Congress (NDC) members. Rather, Ampong clarified that the song is a reflection of observations of the subjects Mahama has highlighted in his campaign appearances.

Ampong said in an interview with Amansan Krakye on Property FM, "My song, Emmoa Asem Nkoaa, does not disparage the previous president or the NDC. Our Akan language and culture include it. The former president's campaign messages appear to center on food-related issues, as the song emphasizes. Ampong mentioned the recent statements made by Mahama in Accra as an example. "The government brings up digitization when people request kenkey to eat," he added. The context of my song is food and basic necessities, which are frequently at the center of his remarks," Ampong explained.

He went on to say, "The world is becoming more technologically advanced, therefore we should concentrate on high-tech solutions rather than problems that seem little, like meat and food. That serves as the song's inspiration. A well-known New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporter, the artist recently worked on a campaign song with Kaakyire Kwame Appiah. However, there have been conflicting responses to Emmoa Asem Nkoaa's release. Some social media users have accused him of exploiting the song to disparage political rivals.

Ampong maintains his stance in the face of criticism, stressing that the song's lyrics are intended to spread a message rather than cause offense.
