An Accra High Court has subpoenaed award-winning musician, Michael Owusu Addo, known professionally as Sarkodie, to testify in respect of a suit against automobile company, Kantanka.
The Kantanka Automobile Company has been sued by one Jude Osei for allegedly failing to fulfill a promise of gifting him a Kantanka Mensah vehicle after reaching a 30,000 retweet requirement.
The plaintiff, in a writ dated May 14, 2019, claimed he successfully garnered 30,000 retweets in a span of one year, but he did not receive his reward.
Rather, the Kantanka Automobile Company released a disclaimer stating that the tweet offering a Kantanka Mensah car for 30k retweets is a “hoax and should be ignored”.
Disclaimer: Kantanka Automobile @kantankaAuto wish to inform the general public and its followers concerning a tweet offering Kantanka Mensah for 30k to be a hoax and should be ignored. Kantanka Automobile will not be responsible for any liability should this message be ignored.

It is for this reason, plaintiff Jude Osei has dragged the company to court, to register his displeasure that the company waited a year after he had reached his 30k target to issue a disclaimer.
Jude’s lawyer has claimed that Kantanka’s social media account is not phoney, because it was once used to tweet a message to Sarkodie, which the rapper replied.
In this regard, the artiste will, on Monday, June 13, at 11:00am appear before the Accra High Court to “testify to matters he has knowledge of in respect to the instant suit.”
