Outspoken social media commentator Frank Kwaku Appiah aka Appiah Stadium has opened up on the kind of relationship he has with business mogul Ibrahim Mahama.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, Appiah Stadium indicated that he benefits from the benevolence of President John Mahama's brother and would not do things to displease him.

He said it is for this reason that claims that he disrespected Dr Kwame Despite should not be believed, knowing the business relationship Ibrahim Mahama has with the founder of Despite Media Group.

"Am I mad to insult Dr Kwame Despite? Ibrahim Mahama would not even allow me to come near him again. This is someone who is friends with Dr Osei Kwame, and Ibrahim is the one who supports me, so why would I do this? And so, if I disrespect his friend or someone on his level, he will sack me from his side."

Appiah Stadium also explained that it is just by grace that he gets to meet and mingle with the high and mighty; hence, he does not take that privilege for granted.

Unfair treatment from bloggers

The outspoken social media commentator lamented the actions of some bloggers accusing them of tarnishing him his image.

He opened up on how they single him out anytime he attends an event.

He, therefore, pleaded with bloggers to be circumspect in their reportage so as not to create disaffection for him.

"If you want to be a blogger, learn about the job properly," he cried out in the video.
