The Director of Communications of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has said the music video shot by American rapper Meek Mill at the Jubilee House was not sanctioned by the Presidency.

”Meek Mill’s music video was not sanctioned by the Presidency. Its permission was not sought whatsoever for the use of the video. The musician has realized his indiscretion, apologised & taken down the video,” Mr Ahiagba explained in a Facebook post.

Meanwhile, Meek Mill has apologised for his controversial music video capturing parts of Ghana's seat of government.

Since the video surfaced on social media, Sunday, January 8, 2023, citizens and politicians have criticised the Ghanaian government, personnel at the presidency and the artiste for the "desecration" and breach of security protocol.

Mill deleted the viral video on Monday, January 9, 2023.

Also in a series of tweets Monday evening, the Philadelphia rap star apologised in no equivocal terms.

"To the people of Ghana," he began, "No video I drop is ever meant to disrespect the people of Ghana…"

"The fastest way to make connection[s] is [through] music and I wanted to do that with displaying [my] art…," he explained.

"I'm in my 30’s from America and didn’t know much about the lifestyle [culture] here," he revealed.

"My apologies to the people [in case of] any disrespect!" he stressed in the follow-up tweet.

An entrepreneur passionate about bridging the gap between Blacks in Africa and those in the diaspora, especially in America, he highlighted that: "We [are] still gonna push to [create] the connection between Black people in America and Africa... What I’m trying to do is more than a video and you should see [what's] coming soon!"

"My apologies to the [presidential] office also!" he noted.

Meek Mill responding to a food blogger by name Zubaida A-Rahman saying he is "not the one everyone's mad at," explained the officials at the presidential palace that fateful day when the video was taken did not know "it was [a] video footage when we asked to shoot. [What we used was] a small camera and one kid [shot it]."

Furthermore, he stated the reason behind the footage. He and his crew, according to him, were amazed at the edifice. Prior, they did not know such architectural and developmental advancements existed in these parts.

"In America," he said, "We didn’t know this existed and [we were] excited to show [it to others] because they don’t show Ghana on our [American] media much!"

"I’ll take responsibility for my mistake!" the Dream Chasers founder stated, adding it was "not intentional" to dishonour the apex office and Ghana.

The 35-year-old again was categorical in saying he desires no detrimental misunderstanding between Black communities on the continent and beyond. He sees the current controversial situation as a learning curve.

"I’m just not here for [anymore] separation of anything Black… We [are] already separated [by land and history] enough and don’t understand each other’s cultures… Let’s use this [situation] to help fix that and not [be] more judgement[al] towards each other!" he tweeted.
