He specifically accused unnamed journalist with Nhyira FM in Kumasi as being behind the false reportage.

During the launch of the NDC manifesto Saturday, a report surfaced online claiming the musician, who recently endorsed the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, is at the venue with colleague Musician Rex Omar.

Speaking in Twi, Lucky Mendah said: "People, this is Lucky Mensah. I was at home sleeping when I got numerous calls that I am in Sunyani. They said they saw me in Sunyani with Rex Omar. I think the reporter has gone for money. He has received money from the NDC to fabricate lies about me.

"It is something they have planned to destroy the NPP... I want all Ghanaians to know the lies of the NDC. This is what will send them back to opposition.

"God forbid that I will have anything to do with the NDC. This year, I have endorsed NPP and Nana Akufo Addo," he concluded.

Lucky Mensah severed ties with the NDC after promises made to him after he endorsed the late Professor Evans Atta Mills were never fulfilled.

On Tuesday, September 6, 2016, he disassociated himself from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after 8 years of working together.

On Monday (Sept. 5), he released a song, "Yɛresesamu," endorsing the candidature of the flagbearer of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo.

He subsequently met with Akufo-Addo on Thursday, September 8 and presented to him a copy of his endorsement song.

After their meeting, Nana Addo shared photos together on his Facebook page with the caption: "Ghanaian highlife musician, Lucky Mensah, visited me at my Nima residence this morning.

“He presented me with a copy of his latest song, "Yɛresesamu", which endorses my candidature ahead of the December election."
