<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

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

<p>He wrote, <em>"Man, they fooled all of us with this. I wasn't the only one they fooled."</em></p>
