I have no problem with Barosky - Ofori Amponsah

Reigning highlife king, Ofori Amponsah has denied rumours that he is not on good terms with Barosky, a raglife artiste and former member of his team.


Ofori Amponsah told Beatwaves in an interview in Accra that “I do not have problems with Barosky. I have told him he is welcome into my team anytime he is ready to work with me. I am ready to assist and support him in his musical career.


I don’t have any bad feeling against Barosky. He is a brother and I am ever ready to work with him”.


According to Ofori, who many describe as Ghana’s biggest selling artiste of the moment, said he had plans of performing with Barosky on October 26, during the launch of his latest album in the UK.


Outlining his vision for the music industry, Ofori Amponsah, also known as Mr All 4 Real said his vision now was to develop more talents and assist some of the upcoming music stars.


“So far I have Kofi B, Kofi Nti, Richie Rich and a gospel artiste called Tina Quarshie whom I am currently working with on my label”.


He disclosed that he was currently working round the clock to organize a talent hunt show to discover more talents in the music industry.


“I started as a kid and had it tough when I was developing my talent. Today I could see there are more Ofori Amponsahs in the music industry who need my support and encouragement”.


Anyone who has had the opportunity to listen to Ofori’s songs or see him live on stage would attest to the fact that not only is he ready to take the local music industry to another level, but is also capable of grooming young and upcoming musicians to enable them compete favourably with internationally-acclaimed music stars.


Mr All 4 Real disclosed that come December 30 he would organize another live musical concert where he would perform all his songs for his fans. He said the December musical concert was being organized for his fans in Ghana and beyond.


He further disclosed that the concert which would be dedicated to the late Mufty Dabre who was his manager would be used to raise funds to assist the only daughter Mufty left behind.


In a chat with Ofori Amponsah last week, he hinted the new album, which was currently enjoying massive airplay on all the local radio stations in the country, would be released later in the year.


Some of the songs on his new album which featured Samini include ‘Kwame ko’, ‘Barbeque’, ‘Yaa Boakyewaa’, ‘Nothing but love’ and ‘Highlife dancing’
