Kweku Darlington has disclosed the fee he would charge to perform at a political event.
In an interview with Nana Kwesi Bliss on Class 91.3 FM’s Class Xtra, the Sika Kankan artist mentioned that music is his profession and, as a businessman, he is open to performing at political events for any candidate as Ghana approaches the December 7 elections.
However, Darlington emphasized that he is not ready to record or release a campaign song.
He explained that such a move could have significant repercussions for his relatively young career, as it would be perceived as a clear political endorsement.
“I might negotiate a performance fee of GH¢80,000 or GH¢90,000 for a political event,” Darlington said.
“But I won’t agree to create a campaign song because it would restrict my career options and could pigeonhole me politically.”
He clarified that while he is open to performing his own songs for a fee, he is not prepared to take on a campaign song at this stage of his career, stating that such a commitment could limit his future opportunities.
