Ghanaian Highlife singer, Akwasi Opoku, well known as Kwaisey Pee has asserted that the people of Ashanti (Asantefo) are tribalistic and biased toward the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP.
Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, the artist said that most celebrities who endorsed NPP never went out of business but those who threw their weight behind the opposition NDC ended up going out of business.
Kwaisey Pee who is also an Ashanti said his people do not patronize celebrities who failed to endorse the NPP because it’s the party’s stronghold.
The artist recounted when he used to perform with legendary artist Jewel Ackah’s band some years back. He said he got to know that when you endorse the NPP, things go well for you whether in power or not.
Kwaisey Pee stated that Ashantis are tribalistic and would have been called racist if they were whites.
“When you endorse NPP it doesn’t affect you because years ago it used to be the Ashantis who organize most of the entertainment shows so when you don’t support NPP they don’t call you for shows”, Kwaisey Pee added.
“If Ashantis were whites, we would have said they are racists”.
“ Ashantis have some bad words they say against Gas and Ewes and that’s bad and makes them bad people.
