According to him, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana have misled people by making false statements.

He's referring to a time in 2017 when the government announced that they were removing certain taxes to help individuals and businesses. D-Black had praised them at that time for reducing and getting rid of taxes, including those on spare parts, raw materials, and petroleum.

However, on August 18, 2023, D-Black went back to that old tweet and expressed his disappointment.

Replying to fans on claims that he had been silent on the country's current state, D- Black wrote,

"Never quiet. We in a big mess right now . And we gotta rise to make a change . Or make we move go kenya ?" he called.
