Andy of mentor 1 fame has claimed that Ofori Amponsah’s trending song ‘Alewa’ is a copyrighted song he composed.
He disclosed to Sammy Flex on Pluzz FM Tuesday, that he was advised by
the producer to feature a popular high life singer to sing the chorus.
According to Andy, he thought of featuring his colleague Okuraseni
Samuel but later called Ghanaian High Life artiste, Kofi Nti, who urged
him to change some lyrics in the songs which he refused.
He said all efforts to get Kofi Nti to feature on the said song proved
futile, so Andy recorded and mastered the song and handed it over to his
producer.
The mentor 1 first runner – up revealed that Kofi Nti later called on
phone to have a discussion with him but could not turn up until he heard
Ofori Amponsah release a similar song titled ‘Alewa’.
“The song ‘Alewa’ was produced by NADACO in Kumasi. My producer told me
the music sounded like Hi-life so I should feature a popular Hi-life
singer to sing the chorus version.”
“First I considered to feature my mentor colleague, Okuraseni Samuel
but later told popular Hi-Life singer, Kofi Nti and he advised me to
change some lyrics in the song but I declined. He told me to wait for
him at the studio which he never showed up at Taifa PI Studio.”
“He later called me on phone to meet him to discuss something with me
but told him I’m done with the song until I recently heard that Ofori
Amponsah has released a similar song with same titled ‘Alewa’.”
Kofi Nti responded the allegation insisting he had never given out
lyrics of Andy’s ‘Alewa’ song to Ofori Amponsah but only advised him to
change some portion of the song.
