Ghanaian-American musician, Amaarae has responded to backlash suffered from Ghanaians after she placed a spotlight on the nation and its vibrant music scene during her performance at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
After putting up an impressive performance which rocked the audience and got them singing along, Ghanaians online criticised the artist and questioned her choice of songs, especially after she refused to perform her global hit “Sad Gurlz Luv Money,” which features fellow Ghanaian singer Moliy.
Also, Amaarae suffered criticism for what is perceived as her silence during Ghana’s anti-illegal mining protests in 2024.
Despite allegations that she stayed silent during the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protests in 2023, reports from that period suggested that she had actually shown support for the movement. Nevertheless, social media users questioned her commitment to Ghana, accusing her of prioritising her image and career over contributing to social change.
Responding to the criticism, Amaarae took to social media to clarify her intentions and reaffirm her dedication to Ghanaian music and culture. She stated that her Coachella performance was a culmination of years of work aimed at bringing Ghanaian artistry to the global spotlight.”Can’t please everybody unfortunately. & usually, I don’t address this type of stuff but last night I gave my heart and soul to a cause I’ve worked towards my whole entire life and I’m elated w the result!!!! I’ve used my voice various other times & as always people don’t have all the info but it is what it is!!!”Today on the biggest stage of my life I used my voice the loudest it’s ever been! I love Ghana no matter what so whether you hate it or love it… I’m still gonna rep it”

Amaarae chose to celebrate Ghana and its rich music when she performed at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 13, 2025 in Indio, California over the weekend.

Apart from performing her own tunes during her set, Amaarae decided to celebrate the rich Ghanaian music by performing songs from La Même Gang, Asakaa Boys, Joey B, Eazzy, among other Ghanaian acts.

During her performance, the music diva was heard loudly chanting the name of Ghana, asking the audience to wave their Ghana flag, as the flag prominently gets displayed on the stage.
