    I´m not fighting over money but the records must be set straight.IF WE WANT TO FIGHT CORRUPTION IN OUR SOCIETY THEN I´M DOING THE RIGHT THING BY EXPOSING THIS CHIEF PIRATE IN OUR INDUSTRY.

    If you are the master percussionist known as Okyerema Asante, then it´s sad to tell you that I´ve lost all the respect I´ve had for you b´cos it look as if you don´t know anything concerning musIcians recording projects.

  • George Koomson 9 years ago

    Seniors,

    U made us all proud when U released that song. The issue, it appears, is whether Lee Duodu deserved more than he got for the role he played in making the music. I am no expert in this matter but I dont see the nee ...

    There should have been a contract, written or verbal. If not Lee has no case. It becomes he says I say and courts don't do the thinking for paries in such cases.
