Ghanaian music artist Kwesi Arthur has lodged a public complaint against Ground Up Chale, his former record label, citing harassment, intimidation, and other grievances.
In the post on X (formerly Twitter), Arthur stated that the label has persisted in controlling his image and music long after their collaboration allegedly ceased.
He further mentioned that the label is seeking $150,000 from him for the use of his images in an ongoing independent project.
As per the rapper’s assertion, the label asserts ownership of his image, music, and all affiliated intellectual property and assets from 2016 to date, despite the dormant working relationship that has existed since the release of his Son of Jacob project.
See his post below;
If anything happens to me Glen Boateng and
all team members of Ground up chale are
responsible and should be held responsible. I am currently being asked to pay $150,000 for using images of MYSELF for this current
project. Ground up claims to own me, my
image, my music and everything attached to
it from 2016 to this day. Although I have not
worked or had any affiliation to the company since Son of Jacob. I have not made a dime from any of my music within the period I worked with them for years now and receive constant threats and manipulation from Glen who is living off of my money and hard work.
If for whatever reason this project that I am
trying to give to my fans independently gets
taken down, know Glen is responsible. He is
working constantly around the clock for me to never put out music again. I’ve tried to not say anything for a long time though this has affected my wellbeing and mental health greatly but for the safety of myself and my family I choose to publicly share the truth.
