American rapper Meek Mill has apologized to Ghanaians for a controversial music video he shot in the Jubilee House.
In a tweet on Monday evening, January 9, he accepted responsibility for the mishap which he said was not intentional.
“My apologies to the people if any disrespect! We still gonna push to make the connection between black people in America and Africa … what I’m trying to do is more than a video and you should see coming soon! My apologies to the office also!
I don’t think they knew it was video footage when we asked to shoot it’s a small camera and one kid … in America, we didn’t know this existed and was excited to show because they don’t show Ghana on our media much! So I’ll take responsibility for my mistake! Not intentional
I’m just not here for no separation of anything black … we already separated enough and don’t understand each other’s cultures … let’s used this to help fix that and not more judgement towards each other!(sic),” he posted.
Meek Mill courted huge public backlash from Ghanaians when he posted a teaser of a video he shot at the Jubilee House, the seat of government yesterday.
However, with the expression of outrage by some Ghanaians over Meek Mill’s controversial shoot at Jubilee House, Dancehall artiste, Charles Nii Armah Mensah popularly known as Shatta Wale thinks otherwise.
Probably outraged by the negative response from some Ghanaians about the video, the Kakai hitmaker described critics of the video as “villagers”.
In a tweet earlier Monday, January 9, he said, “You wan go America go take pictures for White House. You say “year of return” and your own black brother come to shoot video as he returns home you bore. You are a villager trust me!!!”
