Ghanaian rapper Kwaw Kese has disclosed that he plans to refund donations made by the public for Kwesi Arthur.
A few weeks ago, Kwaw Kese created a GoFundMe account for Kwesi Arthur after the latter posted on social media that his former management was taking $150,000 from him for using his own images.
Unhappy with the gesture, Kwesi made a post asking people to disregard Kwaw’s move, indicating that he knew nothing about it.
Speaking to Kwame Dadzie and Doreen Avio on Hitz FM's morning show Daybreak Hitz, he said he was disappointed in Kwesi’s reaction to his campaign.
Kwaw said, considering the huge following he and Kwesi have, he thought he could use that to raise money for him to pay off his debt to his former management company Ground Up Chale.
“I set up the gofundme account and if it was a bad thing I wouldn’t even talk about it. I came online and posted the gofundme account and said people should support our brother, pay the money so that Kwesi Arthur can have his freedom,” he said.
He also noted that there was no way he would open the account and use the money without giving it to Kwesi.
“I was doing it strictly for Kwesi Arthur and was I was pained that someone could own his images and they want you to pay $150,000 dollars. You are bigger than that amount of money. Let’s do this, pay the guy off so you can be free,” he said.
He added that the amount raised was $170 and that he had decided to ask GoFundMe to refund the monies to those who contributed.
"The $170 dollars is still in the account. They have given me a deadline to withdraw it or they refund to the donors," he said adding that considering the backlash he received from creating that account, he would allow gofundMe to refund the monies to those who contributed.
