Highlife musician Gyedu-Blay Ambolley has rendered an apology to hiplife artiste Okyeame Kwame three years after claiming that the rapper was one of the musicians given a share in the government\u2019s \u00a22 million meant for the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA).<\/p>\n
In an apology on LinkedIn, Ambolley noted that he was \u2018mistaken\u2019, explaining that MUSIGA\u2019s former President Bice Osei Kuffour aka Obour did not personally hand over any government fund as a loan to Okyeame Kwame.<\/p>\n
He admitted that his claims that the \u2018Made In Ghana\u2019 hitmaker did not repay the money he received was also false.<\/p>\n
\u201cObour did not give Okyeame Kwame a personal loan from MUSIGHA funds. To support artistes and enable them access loans, MUSIGHA entered an arrangement with Midland bank and provided security\/collateral for the arrangement,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
Mr Ambolley added that \u201cOkyeame Kwame only took advantage of the initiative and applied for a loan from Midland bank which he was given.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that the Hiplife artiste has also paid back the loan in full.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo the extent that my earlier statements may have affected the reputation of Okyeame Kwame, I apologize and state that the errors in my statements were not made maliciously,\u201d Ambolley added.<\/p>\n
In February 2020, musician Gyedu-Blay Ambolley alleged that few musicians in the country were the sole beneficiaries of the GH\u00a22 million government gave to MUSIGA.<\/p>\n
He said in an interview on 3FM that the former President of MUSIGA, Bice Osei Kufuor the recipient of the cash then, is the one who shared the money meant for the union with the musicians close to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen that money came Obour gave those surrounding him, \u00a250,000. I know what I am saying, I am not fabricating anything,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n
However, following his claims Okyeame Kwame threatened to sue the veteran artiste if he does not apologise within 72 hours.<\/p>\n
But, in another interview on 3FM, Ambolley stated that he is not ready to apologise within the 72 hours stating that he needed a week to make his checks and get back to Okyeame Kwame either with an apology or his facts.<\/p>\n
According to him, he knows that something shady went on when MUSIGA was given the money.<\/p>\n
But, he later Ibrahim Ben-Bako on Joy Prime, that he does not need the time to prove his allegations because the accountability would either justify his claims or Okyeame Kwame\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Ambolley reportedly lost the suit, the reason he issued the apology.<\/p>\n
