Ghanaian singer Mzbel, born Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah, has revealed how she almost lost her life due to her unwavering political endorsement in the build-up to the 2016 election.
Without mentioning names, Mzbel revealed she received threats for going all out for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
She disclosed this in an interview on Accra-based 3FM as she recounted some attacks she suffered.
“I have been through a lot because of politics. I have been attacked in traffic, at home, and on stage. A grown woman actually egged me on stage because of politics,” she recounted.
As a result of these experiences, Mzbel noted that although she will engage in political activities in 2024, it will be in moderation.
“I am still a member of the NDC, but I will not campaign like before because I am not a politician, and if I knew certain things back then, I would have campaigned in a different way.
“So this time around, I will not come openly, but I know how I will support my party,” she said.
