Singer Alien Skin has responded to criticism from NUP supporters who accused him of aligning with the ruling party and thus betraying their cause.
"NUP supporters saying I betrayed you, how did I do so, what did I promise you? Who told you that Fangone Forest is a NUP branch?" Alien Skin questioned in a video posted to social media.
Alien Skin firmly stated that he could not have betrayed anyone since he was never part of any faction to begin with. He explained that despite being contacted multiple times to receive financial assistance, he had declined any financial inducements.
"I don't understand why NUP supporters are so upset with me. It's not like we had a contract," Alien Skin said. "I'm an independent artist, and I'm free to do whatever I want."
The singer stressed that he harbors no fear of anyone and will continue to stand firm in his resolve. He expressed contentment with enduring criticism, reasoning that his rise to fame was due to his music rather than his political stance.
"I want people to understand that I'm an independent individual. I don't align with any group; I act according to my own will. I hold no grudges against either NUP or NRM; I maintain neutrality. In fact, I consider myself the referee," he confidently declared.
