Singer of popular gospel song “bobolebobo”, Evangelist IK Aning, has called on Former President John Dramani Mahama to compensate him for adopting his beat and words in the making of the Mahama version of the song.
His demands follow the use of “bobolebobo” in a campaign song for the former president that was played to climax the National Democratic Congress (NDC), 9th Delegate congress in Accra.
According to him, he was not consulted in the making of the Mahama version of the song and that the singer violated the copyright laws, hence the need to pay him some royalty.
“I have spent money on the song, so if you want the song, you should have informed me for us to sit and share the cost before you go ahead with your version.
My beat and words were adopted for the Mahama version, and the artiste who did that will surely be paid, so he needs to also give me something that I can use to produce another song” he told Akwasi Nsiah on Anopa Kasapa.
According to him, although he considers pursuing the case at the law court, his faith practically limits him in how far he can litigate the matter.
He said: “I will plead with Mahama to compensate me, I won’t use force but even the platform on which the song was played is huge and it has hyped the song. He has really helped me, because now people will start looking for the original song to play”.

John has done it again; he stole from Ghanaians and now he wants to rip off the evangelist. No shame, next time he will steal from our children--their future that is why we should not give him a second chance. The first one was questionable; no way will he return in 2021. Amen
who Jah bless, no one curse
Nana will win 2020 and use this same song on you.....cant wait 2021...pray for Gods favour
Wrong move evangelist. If you have registered with the copy right society then you should not be shouting on the roof tops for compensation. You should report to that legal entity responsible for collecting any such dues, patents, copy rights etc due you and let them take it up. Alternatively you can head to the courts to ensure the protection of your intellectual property. Speak to a lawyer osofo.
Evangelist collect your share of the l00ted monies
JUST TO FIND OUT OOO! THE COMMENTS BEING PASSED, ARE THEY RELATED TO THE PERSON OF MAHAMA BEING CORRUPT, INCOMPETENT ETC AS BEING DISCUSSED HERE? FOR THE RECORDS, HE HAS RULED THIS NOBLE COUNTRY OF OURS FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS, WHAT HAVE YOU ACHIEVED? DO YOU THINK RUNNING DOWN AND ASSASSINATING HIS CHARACTER WILL MAKE YOU BETTER GHANAIAN? NO! LIFE MUST GO ON. TODAY YOU ARE HAILING NANA ADDO, TOMORROW, YOU WILL CALL FOR HIS CRUCIFIXION. WHETHER MAHAMA IS A DISGRACE TO LEADERSHIP OR NOT, YOUR INSULTING HIM IS NOT PRODUCTIVE WILL USE YOU TODAY AND DUMP YOU THE NEXT DAY. FIND SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE DOING.
It's very bad for you Evangelist. You need to pray hard and either you stop them from using your song or they buy the right. This is because those who do not want to be tagged to the NDC or politics will not buy the song which has already become a hit. Never allow the politicians to come close to your music otherwise you will incur debts. Just look at Lucky Mensah. Please fight for your money.
Iam sorry this people has killed your song pray very hard else that will be your end what ever they touch is a disaster
This is pure STEALING from the original song maker and if you say this john the ded goat is INCOMPETENT some ndc members don't understand just look at how the ***barred word*** is tearing ndc apart. Well that's why decent Ghanaians are saying like Israel said NEVER AGAIN to ndc. NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU
This mahama ndc is full of sh*t, everyday disgrace follow them wey tin ebi dis one too! here too incompetence come instead of consulting the original owner they thought they can take it by force, they went to a congress of mistrust and dishonesty. Some cried of rigging others furious about other flagbearer aspirants not giving the chance to speak still others complained of bobolibobo being played to favour John mahama confusion no ay3 basaa! by the time ndc goes to the polls in 2020 things fall apart ! The Volta factor, John mahama is a bad prescription for the ndc and a toxin for Ghana!
