Meek Mill's music video shoot at the Jubilee House is fast taking a political turn in Ghana as an outspoken opposition politician wades into the matter.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) legislator for the North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has said the incident speaks badly of Ghana and that those responsible must be sacked.

"All those responsible for this despicable desecration of the Jubilee House by Meek Mill must be fired immediately. How do those explicit lyrics from the president’s lectern project Ghana positively? Is Ghana’s seat of government no longer a high security installation?" he tweeted on January 9, 2023.
