Ghanaian musician Mzbel has disclosed the reason behind her support for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is because the New Patriotic Party (NPP) did not believe in her brand when they were in power from 2001 to 2009.
Mzbel was a key supporter of former President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC ahead of the 2016 polls and was visible in the party’s campaign, wearing party T-shirts while criticising then opposition NPP flag bearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Speaking on Class Drive on Thursday 23 March, the 16 Years composer said the NPP, while in power under President Kufuor, rejected many of her proposals to organise charity works for the needy, but the NDC supported her works when they held the reins.
She reiterated on the show that she would always support the NDC.
Speaking to show host Prince Benjamin, she said: “I will support NDC because of some support I got from them in the past. I have organised a lot of charity events where I got support from their government. Because when [former] President John Kufuor was then President, I had taken proposals to the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and so on but nobody believed in me, nobody wanted to associate with Mzbel because they think of me as a bad girl, they think of me as a bad brand.
“But when [late president] Atta Mills was in power before John Mahama, I got support to help people in Jamestown and to help the needy. I organised medical screening and a lot more, so I felt like if I support them and they keep staying in power they will continuing supporting my charity,” adding that she was sure many in the NPP did not like her because some said it to her face.
Mzbel advised her fans not to judge her based on what they read about her in the media. According to her, she is a nice person who just wants to live a normal life.
“Don’t judge me based on what you read in newspapers or what you read on websites and blogs. If you don’t hear it from me, then it’s not true. They should understand that celebrities are also human beings. We like to do silly stuffs like they like to do. We like to take our phones and pull our tongues out and take pictures and be carefree, so sometimes they shouldn’t take these things too seriously, otherwise it would not be fun anymore – we would be like robots, always faking.

Kuraseni baa...so you re still talking Abi? Now you re free to talk eerr....you all see something soon
Do you need the help of government before you can give to the needy? Or organise medical screening? Please come again cos your reasons do not seem candid....politics
Somebody tell this girl that, at this stage, silence is golden. The more you wade into politics, the more you annoy Ghanaians! For u to say that Nana Akkufo Addo is not a presidential material is provocative, to say the least! This girl a virus. She infected Mahama and brought him down. Koffour was right to keep her miles away from his government.
***barred word*** girl.. ..asahawo nie... Do u ve a brand at all. ...look at this mzbel who, s voice is the most annoying music voice in history.. U sad thing go and f... K urself Now that Jdm isn't doing dat anymore.. ***barred word***...

It is no news that u are a bad brand. u know that yourself. if u were good u wouldnt have been molested at KNUST. it is only ndc that will associate with u bcos they dont mind f**kin anything in skirt. u did well by helping them to opposition. just stay with them bcos that is the group u belong.
Please allow her to speak. She will tell us more. Soon we're going to hear big things from her. Personally I like this young girl. I read many things about her and I found out that she is not fake. She says it as it is, and she is strong lady, even the fact that she is still taking. Young Lady I know you read comments about your stories kindly say sorry to Nana Ado personally and to Ghanaians in general. many people said many things during the campaign but it seems to me that you went a little bit overboard. Take a clue from madam Otiko Jaba how parliament punished her because she refused to say this common and free five letters "sorry". In Japan where I live Sorry "Gomennasai" is the common word you hear every. Even the person you stepped on his shoes will rather tells you Gomennasai "sorry" Intead of you telling him.So is hardly you see people fighting in Japan. NPP and Ghanaians don't hate you so much, but Ghanaians hate arrogance. To me, You are not arrogant, you're just an entertainer who is doing her job. Just say SORRY and move on with your life. Ghanaians always accept sorry.
My bad!
