Renowned Hiplife artist Barima Sidney has made waves in the music industry with his openness to performing on political campaign platforms and composing campaign songs for various parties.
In a recent interview on 3FM Drive, Sidney emphasized that engaging in such activities is a professional opportunity similar to performing at friend’s gatherings or corporate events.
He made it clear that as long as he does not visually endorse any specific party while performing, he sees no issue in accepting these engagements, including composing campaign songs for payment.
Addressing past accusations that his songs ‘Papa No’ and ‘Our Money’ were critical of the NDC party, Sidney reiterated that these songs were a reflection of his personal perspective and not intended as political attacks.
When asked about the possibility of composing campaign songs for political parties, Sidney responded, “The idea wasn’t to ridicule any political party.
It was me coming from the streets then telling him [John Mahama] and in the same song he said something to calming us down.” He also expressed willingness to perform for any political party as long as he is paid for his services.
Overall, Barima Sidney’s stance on performing at political events and composing campaign songs showcases his professionalism and dedication to his craft.
