Following the heavy criticism targeted at him after a verbal attack on a woman during an event in London some months ago, King Paluta has broken his silence.
In an exclusive interview with ZionFelix, the Ghanaian artiste opened up about the situation, describing it as deeply troubling and emotionally draining. He said people who truly know him have struggled to reconcile the accusations with his character, a contradiction he believes should raise questions about the narrative being pushed.
Paluta suggested that the backlash did not emerge in isolation. He linked the growing criticism to events surrounding the last general election, explaining that some individuals began targeting him after claims surfaced that he had taken money to campaign for Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia. According to him, that allegation triggered a wave of hostility aimed at damaging his reputation.
He stated that the attacks have taken on a life of their own online, with social media users circulating his image alongside emotional music and captions suggesting he had lost his humility. To him, the pattern feels deliberate rather than organic.

The musician acknowledged that he has considered apologising to the woman involved in the London incident, although he did not clarify what would determine such a decision.
Addressing criticism over his involvement in political campaigning, Paluta defended his actions, insisting he did nothing out of the ordinary. He explained that his participation was based on an invitation from the New Patriotic Party and not personal political alignment. In his view, artists often perform at events across party lines, adding that he has done so for different political groups in the past.
The controversy has since sparked widespread discussion online, with opinions sharply divided. While some have criticised him, others have expressed support, saying the backlash appears excessive.
King Paluta said several colleagues have reached out privately to check on him, noting that they know his character and find the accusations difficult to believe. He described the entire episode as painful and confusing, adding that it felt like an intentional attempt to bring him down.
