He is very hardworking and does not play with his career, I know what I am talking about.<\/p>\n<p>He has passion and you can see music is all he\u2019s got so for someone to say that, I think it is not fair.<\/p>\n<p>These things go a long way to affect the person\u2019s credibility which he has worked on for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>Now when you google his name, you will see tags of him accused of stealing someone\u2019s song which is not good at all,\u201d Richie said.<\/p>\n<p>Kuami Eugene in an interview with Showbiz said that it is not true that he stole the song but rather he drew inspiration from that particular song.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a creative person. That is what people should know, I cannot go about taking what does not belong to me. As musicians, we draw inspiration from things and people and as producers, we do same so what is wrong if I draw inspiration from three different people?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhanaians must note that my song references Kojo Antwi\u2019s Dadie Anoma, Daddy Lumba and also Sidiki Diabat\u00e9 song Fais Moi Confiance, so I didn\u2019t steal the songs, I only took inspiration from it.<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t that supposed to be a mark of creativity? Besides, I credited them, in fact, that morning I released the song, I tweeted at these people, telling them how the beats in their songs inspired my Confusion song and I thanked them for the release of great tunes,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 26 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 9 February 2018 Source: ghanacelebrities.com 2018-02-09 Kuami Eugene Lynx Entertainment boss, Richard Mensah known in Showbiz as Richie has pleaded with Ghanaians not to bring the spirit of the young and talented artiste, Kuami Eugene down by their destructive criticisms.
