Ghanaian rapper Kwame Nsiah-Apau, popularly known as Okyeame Kwame, has publicly disagreed with content creator and social commentator Ebo Noah over his remarks following the devastating floods that swept across parts of Accra and other areas of Ghana after torrential rains on June 29, 2026.

The disagreement follows comments by Ebo Noah, who claimed the disaster was linked to warnings he had previously said he received from God. According to him, he had cautioned Ghanaians about impending floods but his message was ignored by both the public and authorities.

Responding in a Facebook post, Okyeame Kwame rejected that interpretation, arguing that the flooding should not be viewed as a supernatural event but as the result of years of environmental neglect and poor national planning.

“Are you God’s consultant? Are you here to remind God of mercy? Are you going to make this physical phenomenon a spiritual problem? Nature is speaking to us to plan our country better, to keep our gutters clean, to stop causing global warming, to stop pouring rubbish into gutters when it rains, to stop cutting down trees, to stop illegal mining so the forests may stand, to invest in recycling and upcycling, and to be more ambitious about source separation and rubbish management.”

The award-winning musician stressed that shifting responsibility to divine intervention risks diverting attention from the real factors contributing to the country’s recurring flood disasters. He maintained that Ghana must confront issues such as poor sanitation, weak drainage infrastructure, deforestation, irresponsible waste disposal, and illegal mining if it hopes to reduce the impact of future floods.

While expressing sympathy for families affected by the disaster, Okyeame Kwame insisted that the focus should remain on practical solutions rather than spiritual explanations.

“The negative effects of the rain are very sad, and I cry with all who lost resources, but making this a God problem is part of the problem.”

The June 29 floods left several communities underwater, claimed lives, destroyed homes and businesses, and caused widespread disruption across the capital, renewing public debate over Ghana’s flood management, urban planning, and environmental protection. Okyeame Kwame’s comments have since sparked conversations on social media, with many weighing in on whether the country’s annual flooding should be blamed on spiritual causes or long-standing human failures that continue to go unaddressed.
