Ghanaian-American comedian Michael Blackson has apologised to Ghanaians following a heated outburst on social media about losing $1 million due to Ghana's government debt issues.

The comedian's comments did not sit well with many Ghanaians, who felt his words unfairly blamed the entire nation for his financial loss.

In response to the backlash, Blackson issued an apology, clarifying that he did not mean to accuse the country itself of wrongdoing but was venting his frustration over the loss of his investment.

Ghana launched a domestic debt exchange programme in December 2022 after defaulting on much of its debt amid the country's ongoing economic crisis.

Blackson acknowledged that his anger was misplaced and that Ghana remains a country he loves despite the financial setback. In a post on X, he wrote:

"I want to apologize for using the name Ghana 🇬🇭 as if Ghana physically made the decision to take our money. I don’t know the actual person or persons that made the decision. If you came to America to do something good, but God forbid something bad happens to you, I’m sure you will blame America out of anger. I’m just angry because it happened to me in Ghana. Ghana is a great place with great, loving people."
