Ghanaian highlife artiste Martin king Arthur, popularly known as Kofi Kinaata, has revealed that he may never enter into politics because he doesn’t have the heart to take the verbal abuse and insults that may be extended to his parents.
He went on to say that politics in his hometown is not based on facts. But rather insults and people taking sides on issues.
“They will insult my mother so I beg you to leave me out of politics because in my hometown where I come from politics isn’t about facts.
“What you are saying might be true about a certain issue and everyone knows it’s true but because of partisanship, they’ll say it’s not true.
“Insulting me personally won’t bother me much but extending it to my parents who might have lived a life that no family member of yours can come closer to but because I’m into politics that’s why you’ll insult them.”
He said he would rather concentrate on his music career than enter active in partisan politics because he doesn’t have the heart for it.
The sensational songwriter is also well-known for his Fante rap and freestyle Kofi Kinaata has won the ‘Songwriter of the Year’ award in the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards three consecutive times.
