\"Ghanaian <\/a>Ghanaian Afrobeats artiste, King Promise<\/p>\n

Ghanaian Afrobeats artiste <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>King Promise<\/a> has responded to the backlash following his controversial remarks comparing the population size of Lagos State, Nigeria, with that of his home country, Ghana.<\/p>\n

It can be recalled that in a video circulating online, <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>King Promise<\/a>, during a chat with Nigerian TikTok personality Peller, was heard saying that \u201cLagos is bigger than the whole of Ghana,\u201d a statement that triggered an immediate and sharp reaction from social-media users.<\/p>\n

Many Ghanaians took to X and other platforms to point out the inaccuracy, arguing that while Lagos may have a very high population density, its total population and land area do not surpass those of Ghana. Some commenters mocked the artiste\u2019s basic geography knowledge.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the backlash, <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>King Promise<\/a> took to his X account on 22 October 2025 to share a photo of himself reading a geography textbook, captioned: \u201cResearch has begun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cParis\u201d hitmaker\u2019s post was met with mainly positive reactions on social media, with many seeing it as a signal that he is taking the criticism seriously and perhaps acknowledging the need to check his facts.<\/p>\n

Others responded with humour, jokingly telling the artiste not to \u201cgo and sin no more.\u201d<\/p>\n
