Meek Mill apologizes for secretly shooting music video in Ghana's presidential palace

Meek Mill has issued an apology for covertly shooting an explicit music video in Ghana's presidential palace, known as Jubilee House.

The South Philadelphia hip-hop star visited the African nation last month, when he performed at the Afro Nation concert in the capital city, Accra. He also was invited by President Nana Akufo-Addo to see Jubilee House, where the emcee and his team were photographed, and recorded footage for the video. But when the "Going Bad" and "R.I.C.O." rapper uploaded the clip to Instagram on Sunday, he ignited a firestorm among critics in the West African nation.

Mill, 35, born Robert Rihmeek Williams, was seen performing bits of his explicit song all over the palace, behind the presidential lectern and in various formal meeting rooms, prompting criticism from Ghanaian officials who accused the entertainer of desecrating Jubilee House.
