Ghanaian Afrobeats artist King Promise is facing intense backlash after a video surfaced showing him claiming that Lagos, Nigeria, is bigger than the entire country of Ghana.

The statement drew swift criticism on social media, with many Ghanaians accusing the singer of spreading misinformation and downplaying his own country.

 In the viral video, filmed during a chat with Nigerian TikTok streamer Peller in Accra, King Promise compared the populations of the two locations while discussing streaming numbers.

However, his comments quickly sparked outrage, with many pointing out the inaccuracy of his statement.

 Social media users were quick to respond, with many mocking King Promise's understanding of geography.

"Bro is still holding on to the social studies he was taught in 2013," one user wrote, while another said, "The ignorance on display is staggering.

 In response to the backlash, King Promise took to his X account on October 22, 2025, to share a photo of himself reading a geography textbook, captioned: "Research has begun."

The post was met with mainly positive reactions, with many seeing it as a signal that he is taking the criticism seriously and perhaps acknowledging the need to check his facts.
