In a recent interview with Property FM, Ghanaian artiste, Kwame Yogot, emphasized the importance of careful consideration before musicians decide to endorse any political party in the run-up to the 2024 elections. Yogot expressed concern that many artistes have seen their careers suffer after hastily making such decisions.
The artiste explained that endorsing a political party can be highly divisive, as not all Ghanaians support the same political ideologies. He stressed that aligning with one party over another could alienate a significant portion of an artist’s fan base. Yogot made it clear that he is not motivated by money, and he prioritizes safeguarding his career above all else.
Yogot also highlighted the potential negative repercussions of getting involved with politics, and outlined his strategy for mitigating any potential damage to his career. He acknowledged that recovery from such a controversy could be a lengthy process and revealed his intention to ensure that any financial compensation for political endorsements could provide a safety net if his career suffered as a result.
The artiste’s remarks serve as a cautionary reminder to fellow musicians to approach political endorsements with careful consideration and a long-term perspective on their careers.
