In a recent interview on JoyPrime TV, Barima Sidney clarified his intentions behind the song. He explained that he didn’t specifically target anyone but was intrigued by two well-known celebrities, Gloria and Tracy, discussing “Papa No” on social media. He released the song at midnight, and by 9:00 am, it had spread everywhere. Unfortunately, clips of Mahama were later merged with his song for political purposes, leading to the misconception that he was directly attacking the former president. Barima Sidney expressed regret if the song contributed to Mahama’s loss in the 2020 elections and emphasized that there was no ill intention behind its production.
Barima Sidney’s apology highlights the complex interplay between pop culture and political narratives during election cycles. As we reflect on this incident, it serves as a reminder of the impact that music and media can have on public perception and discourse. Let’s hope for continued respectful dialogue in Ghana’s political landscape.
