Music producer, Possigee has responded to claims by United States-based Ghanian artiste Jah Shanti that MOG Beatz gave his ‘Fire’ beat to Stonebwoy for his ‘Ever Lasting’ song.
Jah Shanti, used the beat to record a song titled ‘Fire’ which was compiled onto a seven-song mixtape in 2017.
Here is a link to the mixtape released in 2017. Listen: Fire – Jah Shanti.
Speaking to Jah Shanti from his United States base, he said he did not deal directly with MOG Beatz. His management reached out to the beatmaker and bought the beat in question from him.
“My team did the payment. But I have to speak to my management and know who specifically they paid the money to,” he said.
When Ghana Weekend got in touch with MOG Beatz, he said he had no idea of such a transaction between him and the said artistes. In fact, he said he did not know Jah Shanti.
However, Possigee claims, some time ago, MOG gave him about forty songs to give out for free – and the beat for Jah Shanti’s ‘Fire’ and Stonebwoy’s ‘Ever Lasting’ was part of it.
The first day @MOGBeatz came to me to push his beats to artists like sarkodie and many others. The first package i got was 40 beats which includes rns and fa sor ho and many others i sent most beats out without him knowing

Explaining further to Ghana Weekend, Possigee said: “as a producer, at the beginning of your career if you send a beat to somebody and within two or three days you don’t any information that the artist has used it, then you share it to other artists. So I am sure that she shared with other artistes because he was desperate that he would blow. He did not know that I had given them out to people,” he noted.
He also admitted that he should have quickly told MOG Beatz that Jah Shanti had used the beat for his song.
“It was a miscommunication,” he said.
Meanwhile, Possigee has promised Jah Shanti that he will replace the beat with two different beats when he needs it.
This is not the first time MOG Beatz has been accused of selling the same beat to different artistes.
A few months ago, a music group called ZeeTM was mad at him for selling their beat to MzVee.
The beat was used by ZeeTM for their song titled ‘Promise’ and MzVee’s ‘Who Are You’?
