Ghanaian rapper King Paluta has revealed that accepting money from Dr Mahamudu Bawumia did not sit well with some individuals in his circle.

In a recent disclosure, the rapper stated, “The money I took from Baweezy pained boys,” suggesting that some people were displeased with his decision.

King Paluta expressed disappointment that a fan who had previously supported him for Artiste of the Year (AOTY) had suddenly changed stance.

His tweet implied that some Twitter influencers were financially influenced to promote certain artistes over others.

I’ve seen one guy who was supporting me heavily. Even last week… Every time Paluta for AOTY. Yesterday, make I go see aa, he say I no dey deserve the award again. Every Twitter influencer on the payroll already?? Lol Ghana Music, wake up! (in Wendy Shay’s voice), King Paluta wrote in pigin.

However, netizens were quick to call him out, accusing him of engaging in the same practice during the 2024 general elections.

During the 2024 elections, he was seen in the company of then flagbearer Dr Bawumia, where he shared the stage with party executives at some rallies.

While King Paluta has not disclosed the amount he received, his confirmation has sparked debates about musicians and their involvement in political endorsements.
