Mzbel says political involvement affected her music career

Ghanaian musician Mzbel has spoken about the effect that her public involvement in partisan politics had on her music career.

In a recent interview, the singer said she lost performance opportunities and part of her social-media following after openly campaigning for a political party. She said the experience had changed her approach to political involvement.

Mzbel said she no longer wants to be involved with political parties, while explaining that her earlier support had been influenced by her upbringing and long-standing political connections.

Her comments have generated fresh discussion about the relationship between Ghana’s entertainment industry, celebrity branding and political campaigning.
