‘Honorable Waawe’ Not Created to Mock NPP – Songwriter

Ghanaian singer and songwriter De Thompson DDT has clarified that his song Honorable Waawe was not created for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to use in mocking the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following the December 7, 2024 elections.

In an interview with Amansan Krakye, the popular sound engineer explained that while the song has been used to mock those who lost in the 2024 polls, it was not composed with any specific political party in mind.

“I don’t see it as people using my song Honorable Waawe to troll those who lost the 2024 elections. The real message of the song has been lost. What it essentially means is that if you lose, it’s because you didn’t perform your duties properly, and that’s why you’ve been voted out. So, next time, if you get the opportunity, you must perform well,” he stated.

He further emphasized that the song was not intended for any particular party.

“I didn’t create Honorable Waawe for any specific political party. In four years, those laughing today might also be crying if they don’t perform their responsibilities. Every four years, the song renews itself,” he added.

The artist reiterated that the message behind the song is about accountability and the need for politicians to fulfill their duties effectively in order to avoid defeat at the polls.
