One of the biggest names to have come out of Fante rap, Pappy Kojo has once again called out Mr Eazi for failing to credit him on their hit single, “Akwaaba”.
Pappy’s renewed accusations come after Mr Eazi, CEO of emPawa Africa, took to social media to call out Bad Bunny for not properly crediting Joeboy for sampling his music.
According to Mr Eazi, the Latin Music superstar bit on Joeboy’s ‘Empty My Pocket’ for his single, “Enséñame a Bailar”. Eazi tweeted:
Yo @sanbenito you need to tell your lawyers to stop messing around and clear that Joeboy rip off on your album

In a follow-up tweet, Mr Eazi shared a link to the song on Bad Bunny’s Youtube channel and Joeboy’s ‘Empty My Pocket’ song that was sampled by the Latin singer.

Mr Eazi’s rants caught the attention of Pappy Kojo who claimed that Mr Eazi did the same thing to him.
“Yo @sanbenito I said don’t mind him ok ? the same guy stole my song and gave it @MichaelBrun,” Pappy tweeted.

Mr Eazi is yet to respond to Pappy’s claims since the issue came about two years ago.
Background
The hit song “Akwaaba,” which belongs to Guilty Beatz, features vocals from Mr Eazi and Pappy Kojo. In a recent exclusive interview with Ameyaw TV, Pappy Kojo explained that although he has taken to Twitter to express his grievances, he is not willing to reach out to Mr Eazi because he does “not like him.”
Pappy Kojo also shared that emPawa, Mr Eazi’s company, has reached out to him but he’s not happy with what they’re proposing.
“What they’re proposing to me, I’m not happy about it. I’m talking to a lawyer and if there are other lawyers out there who are interested in this matter, I would love for us to work because it’s about time they start respecting us,” he stated.
