Meek Mill, an American rapper who shot a music video at the presidency and received a lot of criticism from Ghanaians, has apologized to the country’s people.
The rapper posted a brief video on Instagram as a teaser for a new song, which caused a public uproar.
Meek Mill apologized to the people of Ghana in a tweet, writing, “… We will continue to work to establish a link between black people in America and Africans… I’m attempting more than just making a video, and you should soon see [more]. I also apologize to the President’s office.
The video, according to him, was not intended to belittle Ghanaians in any way.
In the brief video, Meek Mill and his group can be seen dancing at the Jubilee House after being invited by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo while rapping what appear to be explicit lyrics.
After performing on December 29 at the Afronation Concert, he paid a visit to the White House.
Later, the rapper and his group posed for photos in front of the podium, which is typically used by the president during speeches to the nation.
Additionally, Meek Mill’s crew used a drone to capture images of the Jubilee House forecourt.
However, some Ghanaians were outraged by the situation and took to social media to criticize Meek Mill and the Akufo-Addo administration.
The Sunday-posted video has since been taken down.
