Ghanaian hiplife recording artist and entrepreneur Sidney Kofi Ofori popularly known in the showbiz circle as Barima Sydney has been sued over his new song dubbed ‘Papa No’.
Speaking during an interview with Okay FM, Barima Sidney told Okayfm’s Halifax even though the song was not directed at any specific individual, some Ghanaians have linked pictures of some personalities to his song hence attracting the legal suit.
“When I released this song, people were reading meanings into it. I never mentioned anybody’s name in the song. We are all looking for the ‘Papa No’ and we all don’t have any clue of him. All over social media, people were attaching some images to my song.
Pictures of some high profile personalities like that of the former president Mahama who has nothing to do with the song was used. It’s not fair that I haven’t mentioned anybody’s name and yet I’ve been dragged to court. I know nothing about this and for that matter my management is releasing a press statement to that effect,” he told Okayfm’s Halifax.
The Notorious hiplife star Barima Sydney also used the platform to warn the public against linking his song to any image or personality.
“Those of you adding pictures to the song pls stop it. Don’t tag my song with any personality. I don’t know who the Papa No is I only stated what he does.”
