Outrage in Ghana Over American Entertainer Rubi Rose’s Visit to the Jubilee House


The recent visit of American rapper and model Rubi Rose to Ghana’s Jubilee House has sparked widespread controversy and backlash. Ghanaians took to social media to express their anger and disappointment, questioning the appropriateness of hosting a foreign entertainer in one of the nation’s most revered government spaces, especially as it’s traditionally reserved for high-ranking officials and dignitaries.


The Jubilee House, serving as the presidential residence and official office, represents the highest level of Ghana’s government authority. It is a place associated with national pride, state functions, and significant historical importance. For many Ghanaians, the notion of allowing a foreign artist—especially one who gained fame through music and modeling—to visit and record inside the Jubilee House crosses an unseen line, blurring the boundary between national dignity and celebrity influence.


Photos and videos of Rose casually posing in various locations within the Jubilee House quickly circulated online, fueling frustration. Critics argued that it trivialized the space and tarnished its esteemed image. For many, seeing a foreign celebrity treated with such access and apparent lack of formality was not only insulting but raised questions about the protocol and decision-making process behind allowing such a visit. The controversy reflects a larger concern among Ghanaians regarding how the nation’s leaders perceive and protect symbols of authority and respect.


This incident also resonates with previous debates on how local and foreign celebrities are treated differently by government institutions. Critics argue that local talent is often not granted similar opportunities or access, leading to a sense of favoritism towards international celebrities. This has deepened a sentiment among some Ghanaians that national institutions should prioritize and elevate local talents and public figures, reflecting the spirit of cultural pride and self-respect.


The backlash has triggered calls for greater restrictions and transparency in granting access to sensitive government spaces like the Jubilee House. Many citizens feel that there should be stricter guidelines and that such access should be carefully considered to avoid undermining national respect and cultural dignity.


In response, the Ghanaian government has yet to release an official statement, leaving the nation waiting for clarification. For now, the incident continues to ignite conversations about respect for national institutions, cultural pride, and the boundaries of celebrity influence in Ghana.
