Smarttys Management and Production, Management of International multi
award winning gospel singer Sonnie Badu brings to the notice of the
public, fans, radio presenters and marketers that certain individuals
are using Sonnie’s songs on different platforms to raise monies without
their permission.
First of all, Sonnie Badu has three albums; Lost in his glory, Colours of Africa and Aroma or Worship. The management brings to the notice of the public that Sonnie Badu does not have any album titled “ATMOSPHERE OF WORSHIP.”
“Atmosphere of Worship,” is not from Sonnie Badu. It
is being marketed by some unscrupulous persons who have put several of
his songs together and are selling them to the unsuspecting public”.
They are warned to desist from the act as legal actions would be taken
against them,” the management reiterated.
In addition, Smarttys Management and Production also brings to the notice of the public that Sonnie has no links/ ties with ABSOLUTE ADVRTISING, marketers of the “Atmosphere of Worship” Cd.
In addition, the management advises the various Telecommunications companies
who are using Sonnie Badu Songs as caller tunes to their various
customers to ask proper permission from the management before using it
as it has copyright implications.
According to Sonnie, none of these TELECOS have paid any royalties to
him for the songs being used. “I am not on any short code messaging
platform for any TELECOS, so I plead with them to desist from making
money out of my fans, which I cherish so much,” he warned
He emphasized that he loves to see many people have access to his
songs, but then the permission should be sort from his management first
before being used, as he has copyright over the songs.
This move by the management to warn unsuspecting fans comes as a result
of a compilation VCD that is on sale on the market. The VCD has songs
from the likes of Cwesi Oteng, OJ, Willie and Mike, Quadjo Oteng, Emma Konadu and Sonnie Badu. The compilation is being marketed and by Cebex Music Production in Accra and Kumasi.
The management wishes to state that it has no contract with Cebex music
and that the compilation is a criminal act. Cebex music, owned by
Charles Sarpong is therefore warned and prevented from using Sonnie
Badu’s songs without his permission or risk having a law suit on their
heads.
See below the CD which Sonnie has just disclaimed...
