Ghanaian musician, Kenneth Kyeremateng, also known as Kwame Yogot, has set his price for endorsing any of the flagbearers of the two major political parties in the upcoming election.
The rapper stated that it would take about a billion dollars for him to endorse any political organization that wishes to engage his services this year.
During an interview on Cape Coast-based Property FM, Kwame Yogot explained that while money is important, he believes that building a strong personal brand is equally crucial.
He emphasized that taking a certain amount of money to endorse a political party might not be sustainable in the long run.
“How you want to build yourself, you have to make sure that you are building yourself properly but if I’m to take money to endorse a political party that will be a billion dollars,” he said.
Kwame Yogot expressed his reluctance to accept a smaller amount like $100,000 for endorsements, stating that it would not be sufficient to support him in the long term.
“I won’t take an amount like $100,000 because I will finish spending that money so I’ll charge a huge amount that even if my career fades for endorsing a political party I know I have some money somewhere to work with.”
He ended by declaring that any political party seeking his endorsement must be prepared to pay a significant sum for his services. “So any political party who is ready for an endorsement from me must be prepared because they have a lot to pay for my services,” he said.
