Long after the London incident first surfaced, King Paluta is still grappling with the fallout as the controversy continues to follow him across media platforms.
The Ghanaian artiste recently addressed the issue during an interview with ZionFelix, where he spoke about the pressure he has been under and the possibility of offering an apology.
Reflecting on the situation, Paluta stated that the accusations do not align with the person people know him to be. “Those who know me question why these allegations are being made, and that alone should signal you that this is a troubling situation,” he said, making it clear that the claims have taken an emotional toll on him.
He further described what he believes is a coordinated effort to damage his reputation, distancing himself from direct blame on the media while pointing fingers at certain individuals. “There’s a group of people, I’m not necessarily blaming the media, but some individuals—who have turned against me. This all began during last year’s election cycle.
“They claim I accepted money from Bawumia while campaigning, and that sparked a wave of controversy aimed at tarnishing my image.”
According to the ‘Aseda’ singer, the backlash has extended beyond commentary and into online narratives he finds deeply unsettling. He noted that some social media users have repurposed his images with emotional soundtracks to suggest a moral downfall. “They constantly look for reasons to criticise and undermine me. I’ve noticed people using my picture on TikTok with a sad tune, narrating how one should remain humble when lifted by God. This feels orchestrated.”
Despite the tension surrounding the issue, Paluta indicated that he is not completely closed off to making peace with the woman involved in the London incident, although he stopped short of explaining what would prompt an apology.
When asked about his involvement with the New Patriotic Party during the last elections, the artiste stood by his decision and dismissed claims that it was politically motivated. “Yes, I believe it was the right move, but I didn’t just decide on my own. The party invited me, and I couldn’t turn down their call. If someone from the NDC was invited, they would likely attend too, it’s all about supporting events, and I’ve performed for both parties at different occasions.”
The interview has since reignited public debate, with social media users divided over his comments and the controversy surrounding him.
“They want to pull me down,” Paluta lamented, expressing frustration over what he sees as a calculated attempt to ruin his image.
He added that the situation has been particularly painful because of the support he has received from peers who know him personally.
“Colleagues have reached out to ask what’s happening, as they know my character and that I haven’t wronged anyone. It’s perplexing and painful to experience all this,” King Paluta averred.
