Ghanaian Singer and song writer Kuami Eugene is been accused of stealing lyrics from many songs across the globe.
First it was Angela, then Confusion to Wish Me Well and now he is
being accused of stealing lyrics for his verse on the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) 2019 theme song.
The song, titled Our Music Lives, features the
voices of Amandzeba, KiDi, Adina, Joe Mettle, Teephlow and Kuami Eugene.
According to reports on social media, the Aku Shika singer’s
verse was sampled from a song titled Ragamuffin by a female
Jamaican Dancehall artiste, Koffee.
However, when Showbiz caught up with him after his performance at the launch
of Okyaeme Kwame’s Made in Ghana album last
Saturday, April 20, Kuami Eugene said he was not fazed by the accusations.
“The things they say do not affect me in anyway, I am not
surprised at all. These are people who do the same thing to everybody even to
their family members.
“They have done this to a lot of musicians, the Ofori
Amponsahs and co have all had their share of these kind of accusations so it is
not really a big deal for me,” he said.
Moving on to talk about how he felt being
featured on Okyeame Kwame’s album he said, “it feels really great. In fact I’m
not sure I would have been happy if I was not on it.
“He has been in the industry for 22 years and has done
amazingly well, for himself as an artiste and with his brand; it is definitely
an honors being on this album.”
Kuami Eugene, real name Eugene Kwame Marfo, who is signed to
Lynx Entertainment, said he is overwhelmed by the love shown him in his short
time in the limelight.
He was grateful to Lynx Entertainment for
spotting his talent and signing him on.
“Lynx Entertainment came in at the right time and I must say
that they have been very supportive of my career,” he said.
