Young Ghanaian musician, Eugene Marfo, popularly known as Kuami Eugene, has been accused of stealing lyrics.
This allegation was levelled against him by budding highlife musician, Raphael Essien also known as Anamon.
During an interview with Rainbow Radio, Anamon stated that the 2020 VGMA Artiste of the Year used portions of his song titled ‘Ashawo’ without his consent.
He detailed that ‘wele, sebe and kontomire’ lyrics in Kuami Eugene’s ‘Open Gate’ song was registered by him in 2012 after he released his song.
The ‘Nkwasiawuo’ singer said he will sue Kuami Eugene if he doesn’t hear anything from him or his management.
“If he is respectful, he would have called and asked permission from me before using the words. I spent several amounts of money on the song. I registered the words and the terms at the Copyright Office,” Anamon stated.
Kuami Eugene has been accused several times on this same issue after he started his music career in Ghana. Let’s wait and see what will happen.
