The last time he was asked if he had sought clearance from the family or management of the late Seth Frimpong for sampling portions of his song ‘Okumchola’, he said that was a backdoor conversation.
People have always criticized Kuami Eugene for ‘stealing’ other people’s songs and the release of his ‘Dollar on You’ seems to have cemented these claims.
But he has spoken to the issue again and this time his answer suggests his management is in talks with the onwers of ‘Okumchola’.
“What I can say is, there’s been a conversation. I can’t really say much about it but there’s been a conversation,” he told AJ Sarpong on the maiden edition of ‘The Chat’ on Citi TV.
‘Dollar on You’ was produced by DJ Vyrusky with the video directed by Xbills Ebenezer.
A bit of research, however’ proves that the word ‘Okumchola’ popularised by the late Seth Frimpong, is an Assemblies of God slogan which means ‘it’s a miracle’. It is a very popular term, especially among the youth in that church.
