The music video stirred a huge uproar from sections of the Ghanaian populace who were critical of the government for allowing such sensitive areas to be filmed for a music video.

After suffering hefty backlash, the rapper has so far deleted the video.

Ghanaians reactions

Incensed over portions of the music video shot at the Jubilee House, Ghanaians took to social media to express their angst.

After he dropped the teaser of the video on his Instagram, Ghanaians have been reacting in shock because the Jubilee House is a place marked as a security zone where pictures cannot even be taken.

Meek Mill is seen at different places at the presidency, from the frontage, through to the main corridors, in the main conference hall, where he is seen behind the presidential lectern, and later in a sitting area rapping.

As things stand, one cannot conclude that the video was shot with the authorization of the authorities at the Jubilee House, while that is expected to come out in the coming days, angry Ghanaians have been speaking their minds on social media.

The Member of Parliament for the North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, for instance, called for persons who allowed Meek Mill to shoot the video clip at the Jubilee House to be fired.

He said this is because the clip had some “explicit lyrics.”

“All those responsible for this despicable desecration of the Jubilee House by Meek Mill must be fired immediately. How do those explicit lyrics from the president’s lectern project Ghana positively? Is Ghana’s seat of government no longer a high security installation?”
