Thus, for the past years, Kuami Eugene has been accused of song sampling or better still music theft by musicians like Adani Best, Ice Prince, Et Al.

Even when Kuami released “confusion” song, one Marlian artiste called Sidiki Diabaté came out to warn Kuami Eugene to desist from the act of song sampling and sit up to put together his own lyrics.

Now, Yaw Ray of CB Records fame in an interview with Koo Tv postulated that Kuami Eugene is not any good artiste apart from sampling songs including this year’s songs – perhaps all the songs that earned him VGMAs awards were sampled.
He furthered that although he sounds like Ghana’s incumbent VGMAs Artiste of The Year, there’s no way he will sample other people’s songs as Kuami has been doing.

Working With Human Beings Can Be Annoying, It Takes More Than Patience To Deal With Some People – Guru

Ghanaian hiplife artiste, Guru has disclosed how difficult it is working with people especially when they are not in the same boat with you.

Speaking in an interview on Bryt TV, Guru explained that the reason most artistes or celebrities find themselves in different beefs is the inability to control themselves.

According to Guru, everyone is from a different background with a different mentality hence the reason some couples divorce after few months of marriage.

“You can’t expect everyone around you to agree with you, some will criticize you, others will hail you but at the end of the day, you must be able to learn to tolerate certain people”. He stated.

“Most marriages have failed because people don’t know how to tolerate other people’s attitude. Me for instance,I am not fake and I always tell it as it is. I want people to like me but it doesn’t mean I will accept everything. I will tell you my mind but we will still be cool..take Kuami Eugene for instance, the fact that I said he didn’t deserve the Artist of the Year Award doesn’t mean I have issues with him…I will say hi when I meet him anywhere”. He added.

Meanwhile Guru is currently promoting his latest banger “Get Up” featuring Fameye.
