He revealed this in an interview with Abeiku Santana on UTVâs Atuu Show. According to him, he would reject a million-dollar offer to compose a song for any political party. During the interview, D-Cryme made it clear that his music is for the people of Ghana and that he values integrity over financial gain.

Other artists who have campaigned for political campaigns

While D-Cryme stands firm in his decision to avoid political affiliations, other Ghanaian musicians have taken a different route, signing deals with political parties during campaign seasons. One notable example is highlife legend Daddy Lumba, who composed campaign songs for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2008 elections. His song, Nana Is A Winner, became an anthem during the campaign, solidifying his association with the party.

Similarly, gospel artist Nacee has been notably involved in political campaigns. In 2016, he released the song Onaapo, which became an iconic anthem for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the elections. The songâs infectious rhythm and message of victory resonated with many Ghanaians, even beyond political circles.

On the other hand, Shatta Wale made headlines when his song Mahama Paper was adopted by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the 2016 elections. However, Shatta Wale did not publicly endorse the party.
