In a recent interview on Neat FM, the gospel singer expressed regrets over some lyrics in the song, which was seen as a dig at President Mahama in the lead-up to the December 2024 general elections in Ghana.
Great Ampong said he had sought forgiveness and mended his relationship with God over the issue and that he would not be unhappy if Ghanaians criticised or insulted him.
"I am happy I have come here to apologise from the bottom of my heart. I have re-established a good relationship with God. That is what I want. If Ghanaians come together to insult me after I finish, I will be happy that I am on good terms with God again."
The gospel musician apologised to President John Mahama and explained that he did not mean to disparage him with his song.

He noted that some individuals who wanted to create confusion between him and the president associated him with the song and used his images to make disrespectful remarks about him.
"I want to use this platform to apologise to him that I didn't mean anything negative when I released my song but people tagged his picture to it to do a lot of things. I am begging him. I did not mean it that way and that some people used it against him. He should forgive me."
Great Ampong also appealed to Ghanaians to forgive him for his past conduct, saying that he had composed a new song to apologise to President Mahama because of the advice he received in the aftermath of the 2024 elections.
The veteran gospel singer's remarks come after he recently released a song to apologise for his actions during the 2024 election campaign.
Before the elections, Great Ampong, who was a staunch supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, released a campaign song, Ɛmmoa Asɛm Nkoaa featuring Kaakyire Kwame Appiah and Naphtali.
In the song, he appeared to take a swipe at President Mahama, who was then the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress.
