Ahkan has dispelled allegations by Bullet that his brother has sold a song by the group, to a movie company without the knowledge of Bullet.
According to Bullet, the brother of Ahkan, Theophilus Baah, once contacted him that a movie company needed their ‘Shaba’ song for a soundtrack.
He wrote on his Instagram page: “Theophilus Baah, a brother of my former partner Akhan, who happened to be the manager of my defunct group Ruff n Smooth, comprising of myself and Ahkan informed me about a movie company in America who has shown interest in using our song as their movie soundtrack.
To make my story short, I just found out the movie is out and our song been used without my permission nor me seeing any legal contract and a huge sum of money being taken by my former partner’s brother.
I feel so disrespected and cheated, two people cannot create music for one party to silently sell the music and take the money without the knowledge of the other.
I need HELP, i want Justice maybe social media can help me.
#JUSTICE4BULLET.”
But responding to the issue Ahkan told Citi FM’s Kwame Dadzie that they have not yet finalized the deal with the person who has used their ‘Shaba’ song for a movie soundtrack.
According to Ahkan, Bullet will not be left out when the royalties start pouring in. He said they yet to finish the necessary arrangements for that.
“The woman is looking for a company to get the movie so it means that once that is done and our copyright issues are sorted, we’ll all benefit from it,” he noted.
He further noted that about six years ago when the person contacted them for the song, she gave them about $900 but because Bullet was busily working with Ebony, they used that money to promote the ‘Shaba’ song.
