Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson was displeased with American rapper Meek Mill’s announcement that he would return to Ghana in December for the festive season.
“Y’all swear you love our country so much— but stay mute when it comes to speaking on any issues affecting it,” she wrote, challenging the rapper’s stance.
She also added that “Ghana should not be the place you just come to get away with ANYTHING because of your proximity to people in power.”
The exchange reflects Forson’s broader concerns about how some international celebrities engage with Ghana without speaking up on issues impacting the nation.
