Sensational Musician Mzbel born Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah has publicly accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of exploiting her loyalty and abandoning her after years of financial, moral and public support.
Mzbel poured her heart out in a strongly worded emotional outburst that has reignited national debate about celebrity involvement in Ghanaian politics.
She made the revelations during a recent interview on ATUU, aired on United Television (UTV) on February 21, 2026. The programme, hosted by broadcaster Nana Romeo, provided a platform for the musician to recount what she described as years of loyalty to the NDC that have yielded nothing in return.
According to Mzbel, her relationship with the party went far beyond public endorsements and political rhetoric.
She disclosed that she personally financed aspects of the party’s activities, using her own money to support the NDC during campaign periods.
Despite this commitment, she said she has never received any form of recognition, reward, or opportunity from the party.
“I have supported the NDC with my own money, but I haven’t received anything from them,” she stated.
“Not even a chance to perform at their events, even when I lobbied for it.”
Her comments reflect a deeper frustration that has built up since the 2024 general elections.
Mzbel revealed that several influential party figures she previously had direct access to have completely cut off communication with her since the elections. Calls go unanswered, messages are ignored, and relationships that once appeared strong have, in her words, completely disappeared.
She described the experience bluntly as being “used and dumped,” suggesting that her relevance to the party ended once the political campaign season was over and power had been secured.
The singer further revealed the personal burden the situation has created for her.
She explained that her home has effectively become a gathering point for NDC supporters who believe she was promised jobs and opportunities for them during the campaign.
This has placed her under intense pressure, as she has no official position or authority within the party to fulfil such expectations.
According to Mzbel, she has been left exposed—caught between frustrated supporters demanding opportunities and party leadership that no longer engages with her.
In a striking contrast, Mzbel disclosed that she has received more goodwill, respect and support from the New Patriotic Party (NPP)—despite not being a member of that party—than from the NDC, which she has consistently defended and supported publicly over the years.
Mzbel’s political involvement is not new. For years, she has been one of the most outspoken musicians in the political space, openly aligning herself with political causes, mobilising support, and using her influence to shape public opinion. Her visibility during election periods made her a prominent cultural figure within NDC-aligned circles.
However, her latest revelations paint a picture of a political culture where loyalty is informal, promises are implied rather than documented, and support structures for political allies are weak or nonexistent once elections are over.
