Ghanaian Hiplife artiste, Barima Sidney says he is still going to release the music video for his very controversial song ‘papa no.’
A private individual identified as Abdul Ganiu Issaka asked an Accra High Court to restrain Ghanaian Hiplife musician Barima Sidney from releasing his latest music video.
In his writ, the plaintiff sought an order for an “interlocutory injunction” to be placed on the video for the musician’s controversial ‘Papa No’ song.
The injunction is expected to restrain the defendants (Sidney Oppong Ofori and his Squadie Entertainment) from releasing the video to the said song on various media outlets.
However,Sidney says, he has seen the said court order but he will go-ahead to release the video because he has not been served the order in person.
“Well, I will say it is true. A journalist friend of mine sent me a screenshot of the suit or whatever yesterday at 6 pm. We didn’t even understand it so we forwarded it to a lawyer and later in the evening, the lawyer confirmed that it is true. But then since I haven’t been served directly, let’s just hold on. So it is true.
“Definitely, we plan on releasing it tomorrow so far as I haven’t been served yet. So we will still go ahead and release the video tomorrow. I’m listening to the directives from my lawyer. They know best so whatever they say…,” Sidney said.
