Hip-hop star Meek Mill has announced he is returning to Ghana and will be coming with friends after his first trip last December.
Interestingly, Meek Mill became the target of social media attacks on Sunday, January 8, 2023, after he posted a video of his visit to the Jubilee House with his music playing in the background.
The video, which went viral almost immediately, was viewed by some in the presidency as disrespectful and a breach of protocol.
MP for the Volta Region constituency in northern Tongo, Samuel Okudzito-Ablakwa, called it a sacrilege of the country’s highest office and stated that the background music contained some profanity.
In less than 48 hours, Meek Mill removed the video and posted it on Twitter to apologize to the people of Ghana.
However, he has announced that he will return to Ghana.
He explained in a tweet he posted that he would invite others to make the journey with him.
