Joe Frazier
Writing music is not as easy as people might perceive it to be. For a musician to emerge with exceptional tunes, it needs passion and originality.
Stealing an artist’s work just because it’s a hit and using its popularity to save one’s music career, keeps rising in the Ghanaian Music Industry.
Ghanaian hiplife musician, Joe Frazier is nowadays in news as he has tried to steal Shatta Wale’s ‘Kakai’ track to revive his lifeless music career.
In an interview, The Ayo’ singer revealed that “Kakai is a common expression used by everyone just like the word love is used in tracks by various artists so there is no issue in using Shatta’s term as well in my new track”.
Back then, the people who were found guilty for song title and instrumentation theft were considered green artists but now the case is different as popular musicians steal the intellectual properties of their fellow musicians to give a boost to their career.
Gospel Musician Ernest Opoku has also copied Bisa Kdei’s hit track ‘Brother Brother’ to help revive his career again but it has not gotten much positive response as fans are already into Bisa’s song.
When asked what he will do if he is found guilty for theft, Frazier said “If someone says that I stole Kakai from Shatta Wale, they can’t say that I did not steal the lyrics of Shatta’s Kakai, since my song title is Kaekae.”
Joe Frazier started his music career in 2001 but washed out of spotlight in 2007.
