Sarkodie, Pure Akan And Others Supports Campaign To Sue Akuffo Addo Over Copyright Infringement

Rapper Sarkodie and Akan have thrown their weight behind colleague musician Kirani Ayat to take legal actions against the president of Ghana and the government for using his song without consent.

The dispute between Ghanaian musician Kirani Ayat and the Ghana Tourism Authority over copyright infringement does not appear to be going away anytime soon.

Kirani Ayat burst out on Twitter yesterday when the President of Ghana’s official social media page shared a promotional video that contained excerpts of his music video.

He revealed the ministry did not reach out to him but used his intellectual properties at his blind side.
Ghanaian musicians Sarkodie and Pure Akan joined the conversation today.

Sarkodie took to Twitter and wrote:

“We ( creatives ) do a lot to put our country out there, attracting a lot of tourists x investors that translates to money to help nation building yet that’s one sector with no support… I feel my brother and support him especially if he actually reached out and didn’t get help.”

Pure Akan also showed his support by tweeting: “Compensate Ayat”
