Ghanaian recording artist Medikal has reacted to a lawsuit from singer and hype man DJ Azonto.
This comes after the former initiated a copyright dispute over the use of the word “Alla” in his latest single, “Shoulder.”
DJ Azonto, through his management team, the Rolls Royce Family, accused Medikal of copyright infringement, asserting the rapper’s use of “Alla” was integral to his artistic brand.

In a statement released by Sammy Anim, the team’s Public Relations Officer, DJ Azonto demanded an extraordinary list of compensations, including luxury cars, real estate, and even a diplomatic passport.
“The term ‘Alla’, which is part of DJ Azonto’s signature slogan ‘Alla Woyo’, is an established element of his artistic identity. It is strongly linked to his image, live performances, and fan engagement,” the statement read.
