Chief Executive of Movie Africa Productions, Socrate Safo, is lacing
his boots to sue hip-life musician Sexy Tinny over what he describes
as defamatory comments against him in the artiste's newly released
song, 'Socrate Atanfo', News-One has gathered.
"I don't have a problem with the song, but I feel the insults on my
brand and works are defamatory and we all know the laws of Ghana do
not allow defamation.
The song,'Socrate Atanfo', was better produced because of my
criticisms on Tinny.
He wanted to prove he can do a better song than 'Badder Than Them' and
he proved it but asfor the insults on my brand, I will take him on.
But with the personalattacks on me, I will not hit back athim. I know
when he grows, he will realise his childish mistakes. I forgive him so
Ghanaians should also forgive him," Socrate told News-One.
Socrate said though the song did not specifically mention his full
name, Socrate Safo, it was "speaking about a Ghanaian movie producer
by name Socrate who produces bad movies and he used very bad
adjectives and insults on the Socrate he was talking about. Now tell
me, apart from me, which other Ghanaian movie producer goes by the
name Socrate? Tinny even spoke about the Peace FM Entertainment Review
incident between us, so it is clear that the song and insults are
directed at me and my brand."
The back and forth between Tinny and Socrate started on Peace FM about
a fortnight ago when the artiste appeared on the show to promote a
remix of his 'Badder Than Them' track, featuring Jupiter and Edem.
While Socrate thought the new song was put out for a critical and
honest review, Tinny and his management said they brought the song for
promotional purposes.
After the song was played, Socrate said the only thing he could hear
in it was the noise from a "badly played or spoilt accordion".
He also told Tinny to be ashamed for paying the sound engineer for the song.
Tinny, after the show, told News-One: "I suspect Socrate wanted to
provoke me so I come across as a disrespectful person. I got angry but
I controlled myself. He insulted me, rubbished my song and attacked my
brand. This same Socrate did the same thing to Bisa K'Dei about two
weeks ago. But I know my song, 'Badder Than Them', is bigger than
Socrate and God would be the best judge.
"What has the number of children I have and my wife got to do with the
song? He told me in the face that at my age if I have four children,
it means I was giving birth by heart.
He said I am not a role model for his kids. He even said that after
listening to my song, it sounded like noise and that all he could hear
was noise from an accordion and that I should be ashamed for paying
the sound engineer for the song."
