- Rapper and Highlife star Kofi Kinaata doesn’t like the politics most Ghanaians do
- According to him, there is too much partisanship that is against the national interest

Beloved music star Kofi Kinaata has expressed concern about the mindset of Ghanaians regarding politics.
For him, citizens prioritize their loyalty to political parties over the welfare of the country.
The Confessions The hitmaker lamented the current situation, which makes it difficult for people to voice their concerns about the ongoing challenges for fear of being attacked and falsely labeled as having political beliefs.
“Over the years, we’ve been sweet-talked by politicians in this country, but nothing happens and there’s no change. For me, I’ve given up.” Graphic reported that he said.

He elaborated on the challenges of dealing with issues due to deep-seated partisan division.
“People make things difficult, so we can’t deal with issues because someone thinks they’re for party A, so whatever you say is against party A, so don’t say it. It’s for party B, so it’s going to continue it’s for his party, even if he dies, people tend to love their party more than the country, so it’s all crap.”
Kinaata’s remarks underscore the troubling trend of excessive partisanship, which often overshadows broader national interests and impedes constructive dialogue on pressing issues.
Despite being approached by various political figures including members of the Movement for Change, the vocal rapper revealed that he has no intention of entering politics.
