Richie Mensah, the CEO of Lynx Entertainment has responded to the banter going on between his signee Kuami Eugene and rapper Guru.
Guru, earlier today wrote post to suggest that Kuami Eugene had disrespected his brand for saying he would not do a collaboration with him until he makes peace with his boss Richie.
According to Guru, he only needed the collaboration to appreciate Kuami’s craft.
While some thought Kuami could have been diplomatic with his response, and that he should not inherit his boss’s enemy, others think he just said the plain truth.
In the wake of all this, Richie has responded in a social media post.
Read it below:
I normally stay quiet in most situations but this time I only feel it’s right I say something. Guru asked Lynx for a feature with either KiDi or Kuami Eugene, but the request was denied.
He then went from one media house to another insulting myself and other members of Lynx management, even to the extent of accusing us of sabotaging his career for the past 10years.
He spun stories which implied we have some extreme power in the industry to vitiate someone’s career.
As usual my team and I stuck to our usual demeanour and stayed mute. When Kuami Eugene was asked in an interview if he would feature Guru, he simply said he couldn’t because Guru had insulted me consistently, and it wouldn’t be right to do a feature with someone who was disrespecting his boss.
Let’s call a spade a spade. There was nothing disrespectful in what Eugene said.
I’m a responsible leader, and I would have chastised my artist if he spoke out of turn. So my question is, those attacking Eugene for allegedly disrespecting his elder Guru, where were they when Guru was attacking myself and my reputation in a disrespectful manner?
We talk about unity in the industry and then we go around bringing each other down. I personally have no problem with Guru. Never have and never will. I like to conserve my energy towards constant success and development than to waste my time on petty squabbling.
Guru is a natural hitmaker, and doesn’t need KiDi nor Kuami Eugene on his song to make a hit. So there really should be no offence taken in any of this. So can we just drop all this wahala and everyone go back to making hits for Ghana 🙏🏾
