Meek Mill is criticized for recording a video at Ghana’s Presidential Palace 

It seems like Meek Mill was enjoying a fruitful trip to Ghana in the past few days. However, it may have come to an end, as the singer is receiving criticism for filming a music video in Jubilee House.

If you didn’t know, Jubilee House is the presidential palace in Accra. Moreover, it serves as an official residence and office to the nation’s president. 

The Philly rapper took to his social media account on 8th January 2023 late Sunday to announce that he is all set to drop a new song.

Meanwhile, it turns out that certain parts of the video were recorded in and around the Jubilee House during Mill’s visit.

In the video, Mill is seen rapping at multiple locations around the residence including corridors, the conference hall as well behind the presidential lectern.

Furthermore, Elikem Kotoko, a member of the main opposition party of Ghana, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) gave his view on the discussion.

He went on to question Ghana’s government’s decision to allow the singer to film the video in a Facebook post.  

In addition, he said, ‘How much did Meek Mill pay to the Ghanaian government to shoot this music video at the seat of government.’

The Ghanaian politician continued, ‘And if he didn’t pay a dime can other Ghanaian artists be allowed to do the same? Ooh, Ghana.’
