Lawyers of popular Ghanaian a cappella group, Alabaster Box, have written to rapper Samuel Adu Frimpong, known in showbiz as Medikal, for using a portion of their song without their consent.
The letter sighted by myjoyonline.com indicates that Medikal used part of their ‘Akwaaba’ song for the rapper’s latest song titled ‘Welcome to Africa.’
The letter states that the first 10 seconds of 'Welcome to Africa' is a reproduction of their song.
They say the choice of title and verses of Medikal’s song point to the fact that his work is derived from Alabaster Box’s ‘Akwaaba.’
The group also alleges that Medikal’s aggressive promotion and distribution of his track on major streaming platforms also deepen the violation.
The lawyers therefore demand the immediate removal of 'Welcome to Africa' from all digital and traditional platforms.
They also demand the cessation of any marketing, performance, or business related to the track and the termination of any contracts associated with its production and distribution.
Apart from these, Alabaster Box also wants Medikal to render accounts of revenue generated from the song, and disclose all individuals or companies involved in its promotion and distribution.
They say failure to comply with the above-listed demands will result in a legal action against the rapper.
In the meantime, Medikal is yet to respond to the allegation.
