He stated that when addressing concerns about his situation, some people misconstrued his words.

Nana Ama McBrown, anchor of Onua TV monitored by ZackGh.com, questioned about the emotional sentiments in your songs that inspire people to trust on God. People suddenly accuse you of being a dependent person, among other things. Are you not certain that some of the interviews you gave contributed to the controversy?

Boateng said, “In the interviews, I’ve stated that we no longer sell music cassettes on the road; instead, we do so through social media. So, if I go to a media outlet to promote my product [a music cassette], and the journalist asks a question [about his life], can I remain silent? Certainly, I will answer, although the public occasionally misunderstands me.”
