Rapper M.anifest has indicated that he has decided against declaring his political stance because he wants to be able to express himself on national issues.
He says even though he has no challenge declaring his stance, he is of the firm view that religion and politics mostly divide people.
M.anifest did not kick against celebrities declaring a political stance indicating that they have the right to choose any political leaning of their choice.
“It is more important for me to independent-mindedly be able to have a voice that can talk about things than you being presumptuous about it. It is more important to me to be Ghanaian than to be of any kind of political party,” he said on Joy FM.
“I would have no qualms doing that. Everybody who is a Ghanaian, whether you are creative or not, you are entitled to make any choice you want to make so people should always remember that. Obviously there are repercussions to that in the sense of the that politics and religion are very divisive things so when you make those choices and publicly decide to be loud about them, there are repercussions to that. Me myself when you listen to my music I’m more concerned about the relationship between people and power rather than be concerned about some political colours,” he explained.
