Scores of Ghanaians have posted varied views after African-American rapper Meek Mill released a music video teaser featuring some parts of the Jubilee House.

Meek Mill and his backing performers posed behind the podium President Akufo-Addo uses to address the nation in the music video.

Ghanaians, including the MP for North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzato Ablakwa, have expressed concerns. Many said the Jubilee House, meant to be the highest security zone in the country, has now become easily accessible.

3. Social media user @HeadlessYouTube also shared his thoughts:

''I don't think Meek Mill & co. played the music in the Jubilee House as loud as they do during video shoots. From the cuts, he could've done accapella or had the song playing lightly on his phone. Most of the scenes were just him making matching hand gestures. No permission needed.''

4. Social media @_danielsackitey expressed shock:

''Meek Mill really shot a music video at Jubilee House? This is the lowest point we can get as a country What happened to “Jubilee House is a security zone” Even American Embassy in Ghana, you can’t take pictures and Ghana allows Jubilee House to become a studio. We are FINISHED.''

5. Citi FM journalist Rita Mensah was alarmed:

''Nah!! This is getting serious, why are we allowing this? Can Meek Mill shoot a music video in the white house? Eii Gh lol. What a country! We have given these guys too much liberty they don't even have in their country. #MeekMill.''
