Ghanaian artist and activist A Plus has responded to critics who questioned his children’s language skills, saying his kids speak better English than some members of parliament, according to GhanaWeb.
The remark, reported by GhanaWeb on Saturday, 15 August 2026, came as a direct rebuttal to online criticism. A Plus did not specify which comments triggered his response or name any particular MP, but the statement was clearly aimed at those who had doubted his children’s proficiency.
The exchange appears to be part of a broader public debate about language standards in Ghana, where English is the official language but many citizens speak local languages at home. A Plus, known for his outspoken political commentary, has often used social media to challenge public figures, including politicians.
GhanaWeb’s report did not include the full context of the criticism A Plus faced, nor did it provide details on the ages of his children or any examples of their English usage. The outlet also did not quote any MPs responding to the remark.
This is not the first time A Plus has clashed with critics or politicians. He has previously used his platform to question government decisions and public officials’ conduct, often mixing humour with sharp criticism.
What to watch next: whether any MP or public figure responds to A Plus’s claim, and whether the exchange sparks a wider conversation about English proficiency among Ghana’s elected officials.
