AUDIO: Prince David Osei responds to ‘drunkard’ comment tag at John Dramani Mahama
Prince David Osei, a celebrated actor and loyal member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) , has cleared the air about his post on social media.
Ghanaian woke up to see a post now deleted on the actor’s X account describing the President-Elect John Dramani Mahama as a “drunkard.”
The post received a lot of unprinted words from nextizen directed at the actor.
Today on Accra-based Hitz FM David, speaking to Andy Dosty in an interview, denied posting such an insulting comment about the incoming president.
According to him, right after the election results, he posted Mr. John Mahama and also congratulated him.
He said,
“After the election, we were all pained and sort of depressed because we were surprised at the outcome, but all the same, I come out to congratulate the NDC and the president-elect. I even posted him, and I said what I had to say: elections are over; we should all learn to live in peace. Then I started getting a lot of attacks on Twitter,”.
He continued that due to the pain from the disappointment, he did not carry his phones with him.
“So I even left the phone. I wasn’t by my phone. Normally when they start bullying and doing all that stuff, I just leave the phones to my cousins or some of my friends,” Prince said on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM.
He said he was surprised when he woke up to see reports that he had insulted the president.
“I went on my Twitter feed to check where that was coming from. I noticed there was nothing like that, but I saw people tagging me in something written by me on my page. Then I said, No, I didn’t write this. I started asking my cousins and friends, and then they said, Oh, people were annoying them, so they were replying to them. Then I asked if anybody tagged them in any of those tweets, and then they said no. But I could see people sharing it on Facebook from Prince David Osei’s Twitter feed.
Because it was coming from my page, I came out to apologize and said I was sorry because people were calling my phone consistently with death threats,” he said.
According to him, his cousins and friends have denied making the comment that described John Mahama as a “drunkard,” but he believes they may have made those posts out of provocation from the X users who were attacking him.
“I think when they responded to the person, they deleted it,” he noted.
