Artiste manager and CEO of Bullhaus Entertainment, Lawrence Nana Asiamah has threatened to sue music producer, Appiah Dankwah, also known as Appeitus.
In a post on Facebook, Lawrence Asiamah, popularly known as Bullgod accused the veteran producer of making money off 5Five - a music group formerly managed by Bullhaus Entertainment.
According to him, for about a decade now, the producer allegedly, has solely been receiving funds from 5Five's songs after selling them on digital streaming platforms without authorised approval.
Bullgod explained that although Appeitus produced those tracks, they were executively produced and promoted by his company Bullhaus thus making them their intellectual property as well.
“Appietus, you will pay for every Dollar you collected off my investments and you will pay with interest...You have been feeding your family and yourself with our investments for 10 years by selling 5Five songs – executive produced and promoted by Bullhaus Entertainment on digital platforms globally without our permission – Get ready -Time to pay up. You will hear from our counsellors”
This comes after Appietus claimed he was not paid for producing 5Five’s biggest hit ‘Muje Baya’.
Speaking on Citi TV, on Sunday, Appietus said, “after recording the song, they told me they were going to show it to an investor, the next moment I heard the song playing on radio, they lied to me”.
He stressed that the song took just one week to become one of the monster hit songs in Ghana.
However, this claim did not go down well with Papi, the other half of the music group, who lashed out on CTV on Tuesday, January 17.
Papi called Appietus names and claimed he benefited hugely from the song which they paid him for.
The artiste, like his former manager Bullgod, also accused the producer of allegedly making revenue off their songs via digital streaming platforms on their blind side.
Papi apologised to Bullgod, noting that he earlier accused him of being the one behind the siphoning of funds from the duo’s music.
“Bro I am using this platform to say I am sorry, forgive me. I am being honest, from my heart,” he said on the show.
In a rebuttal, the producer threatened to take Papi to court over what he sees to be defamation of his character.
The conversation on live television degenerated into trading of indults and unprintable words.
