Up-and-coming artist SK DA SUPERMAN has accused Ghanaian rapper Amerado of appropriating his sound for the popular track ‘Kweku Ananse,’ and he’s threatening legal action.
SK DA SUPERMAN alleges that Amerado sampled his song ‘Shege,’ which had received widespread acclaim from music enthusiasts.
He asserts that the buzz around the song on social media, particularly Twitter, led many to question if ‘Kweku Ananse’ was a remix.
In an interview on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning, SK DA SUPERMAN claims that both popular producer Possigee and Kwame Yogot confirmed the sampling. Despite attempts to reach out to Amerado, the issue remained unresolved.
“I called Kwame Yogot, and he said the same thing, we tried to reach out to him and it was a back and forth.
“Amerado did not ask for my permission from him but also now has a remix and is making a lot of money out of my intellectual property,” he lamented.
SK DA SUPERMAN expressed his intention to take legal action against Amerado, citing the negative impact on his career and performances.
He also claimed that Amerado owes him money and expressed frustration over failed attempts to contact him.
According to SK DA SUPERMAN, Amerado did not seek permission and is now profiting from his intellectual property without compensation. He emphasizes the need for stakeholders in the Ghana music industry to address such issues and implement stringent measures to prevent them.
SK DA SUPERMAN believes that in a more efficient system, Amerado would face legal consequences such as fines or imprisonment for his actions.
