"Kweku Flick's NPP affiliation won't harm his career" - Boadu-Ayeboafoh
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, entertainment pundit Yaw Boadu Ayeboafoh spoke about Kweku Flick's affiliation with the NPP and how it impacted his music career.
He noted that the NPP candidate the rapper endorsed won the parliamentary seat in the 2024 general elections, adding that it showed his influence.
"The candidate he endorsed actually won his seat, so we can attest to Kweku Flick's influence."
Speaking about whether it would negatively impact his career, considering that NPP lost to the NDc at the presidential level, the seasoned entertainment pundit noted that it would have no effect on his career.
He said that the country had developed to a point where musicians' affiliations with political parties rarely affected their careers, adding that people would party to good music no matter the musician's political affiliation.
"On NPP losing at the presidential level, I doubt it will affect his career. We are at a point in Ghana, where political affiliations rarely affect your career if you are good. People will jam to good music no matter your affiliations."
