I’ll never record a campaign song for any political party – Kweku Darlington

Kumasi-based
rapper
Kweku
Darlington
has
made
his
stance
known
that
he
is
never
going
to
be
like
his
other
colleagues
to
record
a
campaign
song
for
any
political
party.

Election
2024
is
fast
approaching
and
some
musicians
in
the
country
have
decided
to
use
this
period
to
cash
out
from
the
political
parties
by
endorsing
and
recording
songs
for
them.

But
Kweku
Darlington
who
has
been
struggling
to
get
a
hit
song
in
the
last
few
years
and
in
search
of
money
to
invest
into
his
career
is
of
the
view
that
he
is
not
going
to
make
money
by
campaigning
for
any
party.

According
to
him,
he
is
a
musician
and
would
gladly
grab
the
chance
and
opportunity
to
perform
at
any
political
event
hosted
by
any
of
the
political
parties
so
he
could
make
money
from
them.

“I
could
say,
‘Your
Excellency,
since
it’s
you
who
is
asking
for
this
service,
give
me
only
GH¢80,000
or
GH¢90,000
to
perform.
I’ll
go
perform
and
if
another
party
calls,
I’ll
do
the
same.

“The
only
thing
I
will
not
do
is
the
campaign
song
because
in
that
case
you’ve
limited
and
put
yourself
in
a
box,”
the
Sika
Aba
Fie
hitmaker
said.

“If
I’ve
concluded
all
I
have
to
do
in
music,
I
can
take
huge
amounts,
40
billion,
50
billion,
and
do
a
campaign
song.
However,
I’m
not
yet
where
I
need
to
be
and
I
would
not
like
to
put
myself
in
that
box.

“If
you
book
me
for
a
performance
where
I
will
sing
my
own
song,
I
will
definitely
make
an
appearance,”
he
stressed.
