Ghanaian musician Kwame Yogot has publicly called out Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, accusing him of using his music for political campaigns without his consent. Yogot claims that the vice president has adopted his hit song, “Bibi be si,” which is played at every campaign event he attends.
In a viral video shared by One Ghana TV on Saturday, June 18, 2023, Kwame Yogot expressed his frustration at the turn of events and issued a stern warning to Bawumia and his campaign team to cease using his music without permission.
“How is it possible that someone would just pick your music and be using it for a campaign without the artist’s knowledge?”
“Let’s put aside the cost I incurred to record the music and the struggles, do you know what is going to happen to me because you are using my music to campaign? I don’t support the NDC neither do I support NPP,” he said in Twi.
Kwame Yogot also added that the NPP should not be using his music because he is the grandson of James Gyakye Quayson, the ousted Member of Parliament for Assin North, whom he claims they have been mistreating.
Kwame Yorgot also explained that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) cannot be using his music because he is the grandson of the ousted Member of Parliament for Assin North, James Gyakye Quayson, whom he said they have been disgracing.
“Joe Quayson is my grandfather… see what you people in the NPP are doing to him. He won the elections hands down but you people took him to court and now has to be going to court always.”
“Now you are using his grandson’s music for your campaign… don’t use my music for your campaign. The man that you have been disgracing is my grandfather and you are using my music for a campaign. Stop using my music for the campaign,” he said.
