Lucky who recorded a song to canvass votes for NDC in the 2008 elections said the party is retrogressing at the progressive rate, a reason he has taken a U-turn and recorded a campaign song for the NPP.
Meanwhile Mzbel Amoah has described Lucky Mensah as being a liar, selfish and demanding. Her comments were in reaction Mr Mensah’s claims that the NDC is party that kills the career of musicians, and that the party has failed to manage the country well. According to him, he regrets campaigning for the NDC since he is now seen as a liar for following a party that has failed citizens.
Mzbel said: “Musicians who say parties have killed their career are the lazy ones, and are not creative and depend on politicians to reward them for endorsing or supporting their party and when these exceptions fail, then they will say the parties have killed their career.”
“Some of the musicians are greedy and sometimes go to all the political parties expecting to give their endorsement to the highest bidder and when it fails, they turn to say things that are not true.”
“We are role models, we should set an example. If you believe in what somebody is doing and you want to support, support freely. If you are rewarded later after your support, fine but if you are not rewarded, you take it in good faith, because whatever you did was for a good course. But if you demand from politicians and they fail you, then you go on radio, and television to insults and backlash; that is unfortunate.”
Mzbel further revealed on the show that Lucky Mensah wanted to perform on the recently held campaign launch at Cape Coast but was declined the opportunity.
“Honestly, I was disappointed in Lucky Mensah for saying that the ruling NDC are career killers…Because I know very well that the musician [Lucky Mensah] wanted to perform on the show but they didn’t put you there because; you this same person you are here you are there. Its greed, so if you don’t get to perform on the show and you don’t get what you are expecting, then you say that the NDC are career killers?.
“Meanwhile, in the last election, you got a car and money. You keep asking and the moment you ask and you don’t get, then you go and do something against the party. When you get, you change your mind, when you don’t get, then you say things that are untrue. I respect Lucky Mensah a lot but he is not doing this for the country. He is doing it for his own selfish reason…I am not against his political choice because we all choose based on our choices. So if you [Lucky Mensah] was given the money you want, you would have come out on radio and say things; and even lie…People who do that are are not real and they shouldn’t be taken serious.”
