Award-winning Ghanaian rapper Elorm Adablah, also known as E.L. has issued an apology for his previous comments where he asked DJs to stop playing his old songs.
He explained that his outburst stemmed from frustration, recalling a radio interview where the host kept focusing on his old music while he was there promoting his new releases.
He admitted and clarified his statements that his choice of words might have been harsh and apologized if they were misunderstood.
“It happened because I went on this radio interview and the lady who was interviewing me kept on mentioning the old music when I was trying to promote new music. So that’s what frustrated me and I came out and said you know what, don’t play the old songs again, focus on the new music… So I definitely apologize if it was taken the wrong way, that’s not my intention”.
E.L.
E.L. expressed the importance of fans recognizing his evolution and embracing the new music he creates.
He emphasized that his intention was not to disregard his old songs but to encourage fans to embrace his growth as an artist.
“I misspoke concerning that. But the point I was trying to make at that time was that sometimes artists, we evolve, we grow. And you want people to really try and understand who you’ve become and also love you for what you’ve grown into”, E.L. said.
“So when that focus is not given or when that attention is not given to you it gets frustrating because people are looking for the old but there’s no more old you because you have grown into a new person. So what I was trying to say was that let’s try and grow together because the old songs let them be the old songs”.

E.L confesses
E.L. disclosed a recent lie he told in the quest to be captured in the trends.
One can recall that in an interview, E.L. claimed that he ditched his celebrity status to work as a food delivery man in the U.S. to be able to keep up with the numerous bills.
The rapper confessed that he recently lied about rendering courier services in the U.S. to make ends meet.
“Time teaches you so many valuable lessons and it changes you, especially when you go through a few things. I’ve passed through it all before. There was a point in time in the States when I had to start doing food delivery. Yeah, it was that deep. I delivered food door to door just to keep myself going.
“I’ve actually passed through things and that stuff teaches you things like humility. So anytime I see an artist and they come for advice the first thing I tell them is to cool down, you know see anything yet”.
E.L.
However, in a new twist of events, E.L. said those statements were lies carved just for public attention.
“It was more of an attention grab. They were like let’s do something to trend. I wanted to get something trending and it did trend”, he retorted.
According to him, that act was masterminded by him and some people on his team.
“I shouldn’t have done it. It was from me and was also influenced by a few people around me”, E.L. said.
It can be recalled that E.L. released a new EP titled ‘The Teacher’ a few days ago. ‘The Teacher’ showcases E.L.’s dedication to constantly improving while serving palatable music. It sees the rapper fuse Azonto with other genres, displaying his versatility as an artist.
