The management team of Ghanaian musician, Patapaa, has issued a stern warning that legal steps will be taken against individuals spreading defamatory remarks about their artist.
“It has become common practice for individuals… to speak negatively about our artist both privately and publicly,” a part of the statement mentioned.
It adds that culprits will not be spared if found culpable, as the management is ready to take all necessary legal steps to protect the artist’s image and brand.
“Through this press release, we wish to highlight the harm continuously inflicted upon the Patapaa brand. Management will pursue legal action against anyone who continues to defame Patapaa.”
Patapaa, renowned for his 2017 hit “One Corner,” has once voiced his frustration with critics who downplay his talent and attribute his success to luck.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Patapaa condemned those who undermine his musical abilities, calling them ignorant of his true worth.
He criticized radio and TV commentators, presenters, and industry insiders for perpetuating negative stereotypes that hinder his career.
“They unfairly label me as lacking talent, which is simply not true. Such perceptions are obstacles to my progress,” Patapaa stated, highlighting the irony of critics who act as experts without understanding the industry’s intricacies.
Determined to challenge these misconceptions, Patapaa asserted, “They constantly try to undermine my brand, not realizing the effort it takes to build it. It’s time for this false narrative to end.”
He emphasized his resolve to educate and instill discipline within the music scene, attributing the negative comments to envy rather than fair assessment.
Patapaa expressed gratitude to his loyal fanbase, the Pa2PaSojas, whose unwavering support has kept him motivated.
“The Pa2PaSojas recognize my contributions to music. Critics, often fans of other artists, aim to belittle me for their gain. They should at least acknowledge that ‘One Corner’ brought international attention to Ghana,” he concluded.
