Ghanaian rapper and AMG Business CEO, Criss Waddle, has addressed criticism from supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following his recent remarks on the country’s political discourse.
The backlash stems from Waddle’s reaction to a protest staged against President John Mahama, calling for the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.
In his view, the demonstration was premature, considering the administration is still in its early days.
Oh but just three months and they are there shouting and demonstrating,8 years kra we survived nanka mepɛsɛ 3 months🤣🤣🤣

Drawing comparisons, Waddle referenced what he described as eight years of poor governance under the Akufo-Addo-led NPP government, arguing that if Ghanaians endured that period, then the current administration deserves the same level of patience and scrutiny.
Amid claims of political bias, the rapper defended his stance as nonpartisan, citing his history of openly criticizing both parties when necessary.
He reminded critics of his public disapproval of former President Mahama during the height of the 2015 power crisis, known as ‘dumsor.’

He challenged those bringing in tribal undertones, insisting that he is also of Ashanti heritage, the same as the majority of NPP sympathizers.
Waddle urged Ghanaians to move beyond party lines and focus on holding all leaders accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.
