My performance at the NDC Manifesto launch was strictly business – Olivetheboy

Ghanaian Afrobeats artiste Olivetheboy has addressed public concerns following his performance at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Manifesto launch on August 12, 2024.

The event, which took place at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), featured a standout performance by Olivetheboy, who energised the crowd with his hit song “Goodsin.”

However, the performance raised concerns from netizens about his political affiliations.

In an interview on Okay FM on the same day, Olivetheboy clarified that his appearance was purely professional and not an endorsement of the NDC.

He explained that he was invited to perform by Sharaf Mahama, son of former President John Mahama, and saw it as a business opportunity.

“I was hired to perform, just like at Afrochella or any other event. My performance is not tied to any political endorsement,” he stated.

Olivetheboy added that he is not tied to any political party and would perform for any party if hired.

“If NPP calls me today, I will perform. If CPP comes tomorrow, I will still go and perform. I have friends from all political parties, and if I have been hired to perform, I surely will,” he added.

“I see all the critics and I don’t even bother myself to respond, my fans will do that for me. I also have fans who know it’s purely business because I need to make some money,” he concluded.
