Obrafuor’s legal dispute with Canadian rapper Drake over alleged copyright violations has made other issues he’s dealing with public, such as unpaid investments in previous ventures.
Ayisha Modi, a Ghanaian businesswoman and philanthropist, has renewed her criticism of Obrafuor following the news that he was suing Drake for $10 million.
According to Modi, she claims to have backed the seasoned rapper’s record “Kasiebo,” but she never received a return on her investment, prompting her to file a lawsuit against others.
In an Instagram post, she slammed the “Kae Mu Rapper” and claimed to have cursed him.
“Concert party @mobrafour make sure you pay me back all the money I Ayisha Modi invested in ur Album 13 years ago before you sue someone wai,” she posted on Instagram.
Continuing she said, “Nature will catch up with u walaii Ofoui. See who is suing someone. I cursed u. You will not have no peace until u come out and tell the world the truth about how I invested in ur KASIEBO ALBUM,”
Ayisha Modi’s allegations raise concerns about the exploitation of artists by investors who do not follow through on their promises.
”@agyekumkofi was Ur manager at that time and he was the main reason why I invested all that money in our project. U will be suing people saaaa to feed until you pay me back my money or you tell the world the truth. Karma and nature will catch up with ya,” she recounted.
As of this report, Ghanaian rapper Obrafuor had filed a lawsuit against Canadian rapper Drake for using his “Oye Ohene (Remix)” without permission.
The lawsuit seeks $10 million in damages and claims Drake used the sample on his song “Calling My Name,” which was later included on an album.
Obrafuor claims Drake emailed him for permission before using the sample, but he released the track without waiting for a response.
While Drake’s team has yet to respond to the lawsuit, it raises serious concerns about the use of music samples and the importance of obtaining permission from the original creators.
