"Hypocrisy and arrogance in this, you boldly and happily criticized John Mahama in many of your songs but you have gone silent under your party’s president only because,” happy day” money is tormenting you. Ayekoo," retorted Perry Annan.

Raphael Kama added: "His legal team did a great job with this write-up. We must be stupid to think that Sarkodie is a neutral guy and has been on the neck of all the government equally. You did two songs to diss a Mahama's administration and did Happy day to amass vote for your uncle which even failed"

"this you?" alluded asabere to a song released by Sarkodie where he insinuated that Prez. Akufo-Addo should be reelected.

It has been denied for COVID-19 restriction reasons. Since then. some people have made assumptions that the actions of the conveners are because they have been paid by Mahama.

Efia Odo responded to the critics, saying: “Which money have we gone to collect? All that is agenda? It’s fake. It’s false. We debunked all that, said Odo in a new interview with Zionfelix. [Sheldon] is a part of those who want to defame us. Where’s Mahama’s signature on that paper. There was no signature.”
