The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has stated that it is ready to do what is necessary to make sure that the accusations leveled at it by Ghana artiste, Worlasi, are handled peacefully.

This comes after the artiste accused the party of using his song at its manifesto launch, which was held at UPSA in Accra, without his permission. The alternative musician blatantly claimed that the NDC owes him money for using his "One Life" track.

 

 

"Tag NDC ... worlarmy let’s make that noise while I do mine behind the scenes !! We can’t be exploited !!! Love ❤️ .." he wrote as he took to his social media page to express his displeasure.

The little excerpts from the video concerning his grievances were:

“NDC, you didn’t help me make my music. You did not help me in any way in my life for me to create good music. I am not part of your manifesto so please do the right thing. Make sure you make to me the necessary payments. Do what is right and start wiring the money.”

 

 

The NDC has now responded to Worlasi's outcry, as it said that the party will proceed with the right measures to solve the issue amicably. The spokesman for the party, Sadiq Abdulai Abu, revealed that the party has already started the necessary steps to resolution.

“It has come to the attention of the party and in fact, we have reached out to his management team and we are seeking to resolve it as much as possible. So yes, we have the full details now, we are going back to try to get the other details to try to confirm to fully what happened. So that can inform the next step we take on this”.

“So, as I said initially when he ranted, we wanted details in terms of which song was played and at what point of the event. We got that and we reached out to his management to sort of get fuller details. When we are done don’t forget that as a party, we are dealing with different suppliers and different teams working on the event and you need to be clear that whatever initial conclusions that we all have is the case, then you can know how to move forward with this“.he said. 

“Really and truly its no issue, this is a party that we are law-abiding and of course as a party, there is a team in charge of creative arts that understand these matters as well. And it is our duty to ensure every creative gets its due from their sweet,” he concluded.
