"King Paluta never endorsed a party" - Boadu-Ayeboafoh

In an exclusive interview, entertainment pundit Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh spoke to YEN.com.gh, about King Paluta performing at an NDC rally despite being tagged an NPP.

He noted that the Ghanaian musician had not affiliated with any political party and had not endorsed any of its candidates; hence, he could not be tagged as loyal to any of them.

"King Paluta never endorsed a party or candidate so he can't be tagged with loyalty."

Explaining further, Mr Boadu-Ayeboafoh noted that the Apicki crooner performed on different platforms of various political parties and never made a statement endorsing anyone.

He further stated that his non-affiliation with any party was good for his music brand, helping him to cash out during the political season in 2024.

"He performed on multiple political stages across party lines but never once made a statement endorsing anyone. So, to me, he's good. He cashed out during the period and it was strictly business."
