Highlife musician Kwabena Kwabena has shared his disappointment with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), saying they have not treated him fairly over the years.

He explained that despite composing and producing a song for the party, they have not shown him much appreciation.

Kwabena Kwabena also claimed that the NPP continues to use the song without his permission for different activities, making it seem like he still supports them.

He further accused the party of changing parts of the song to fit their political message without asking for his approval.

“I don’t like to talk about certain things. The NPP has taken me for a ride for a very long time. They did that again; without my consent, they took the music, they didn’t even contact me, and they went to the studio themselves and cut it to suit their purpose without my consent,” he stated in an interview with OKAY FM.

He added, “When they were done, they didn’t tell me anything, and so people still think I’m NPP because of what they do.”

Kwabena Kwabena, a well-known supporter and campaigner for the NPP, has criticized the party for what he sees as poor governance during their time in power.

He also spoke about the challenges he faced working with political parties, especially when it came to creating campaign songs.

In a 2024 interview, his manager, Nana Poku Ashis, revealed that after Kwabena Kwabena composed a campaign song for the NPP in 2016, some people collected money on his behalf without his knowledge or permission.

Ashis explained that Kwabena Kwabena thought he had made the song for free, but NPP officials wrongly believed they had paid him.

He further stated that some of the singer's friends, who were also NPP members, took the money, claiming it was meant for Kwabena Kwabena.
