Government institutions
using the intellectual
property of Ghanaian
creatives has been
a topic of
discussion after the reigning government
used clips from multi-talented Ghanaian
musician Kirani Ayat’s
Guda video.
A similar
incident happened about
two years ago when the past government
used Worlasi’s song
Nukata in their 2020 campaign.
Worlasi called out the party and asked them to pay up for using his song. Speaking on 3Music TV’s Culture Daily, Worlasi
revealed he hasn’t
received payment till
date.
Detailing the aftermath of the event Worlasi said,
“After my tweet,
Rex Omar called
and told us that he was going to try his best to collect
the monies that we need or we want from the song they used and so it was a back and forth with me, him, my previous management
that I released
the song under and my current manager
at that moment
Mr Mawuko Kuadzi…I
mean including Hammer
of the Last Two as
well, he also came to help collect
these monies.”
“The last time I heard about this issue I think it was more than a year ago my previous manager
said Rex Omar hasn’t gotten
back to him, till date I haven’t
heard anything” he added.
The video
compiled by Ghana
Tourism Authority and
posted by the President of Ghana stated
in a press release that they procured
the footage Kirani
Ayat is claiming
ownership of from a creative
agency in 2019 as part of a project.
Kirani Ayat has responded
to GTA’s press statement.
