Meek Mill has apologised to Ghanaians following his music video controversy involving the Flag Staff House, which has been trending heavily on social media since Sunday, January 8.
This comes after Ghanaians on social media chastised Mill for including footage shot at the presidency’s Jubilee House in a music video that has yet to be aired.
The aforementioned music video, which was initially posted on his Instagram reel, was deleted early Monday morning following widespread criticism from Ghanaians.
In response to his deleted music film depicting Jubilee House, Meek Mill has taken to social media to render an apology to Ghanaians and the Presidency.
According to him, the reason for filming his music video was to promote Ghana rather than to offend the country’s cultural and norms.
“My apologies to the people if any disrespect! We still gonna push to make the connection between black people in America and Africa … what I’m trying to do is more than a video and you should see coming soon! My apologies to the the office also!” — He begged Ghanaians
In another tweet, he explained: “I don’t think they knew it was video footage when we asked to shoot its a small camera and one kid … in America we didn’t know this existed and was excited to show because they don’t show Ghana on our media much! So I’ll take responsibility for my mistake! Not intentional.”
Meek Mill revealed the reason for the music video shoot, saying: “To the people of Ghana no video I drop is ever meant to disrespect the people of Ghana …. The fastest way to make connection is thru music and I wanted to do that with displaying art … im in my 30’s from America and didn’t know much about the lifestyle here”

I’m just not here for no separation of anything black … we already separated enough and don’t understand each others cultures … let’s used this to help fix that and not more judgement towards each other!
