Young Rich and D Black
Hiplife artiste Young Rich has accused rapper D Black of stealing the concept of his ‘Di Me Ruff’ track for his newly signed artiste, Ms. Forson.
According to him, Ms. Forson’s song bears the same title as his, adding that she also took lines from his song which was released in September 19, 2018.
Young Rich, who was speaking on Accra FM, also accused Tema-based musician Stay Jay and a new artiste called Sharon Stone of using lines from his track for their song.
He bemoaned the unfair treatment meted out to him and took swipe at them, saying “they were nobody when I started music.”
“Ms. Forson recorded a song with same title and has even picked some of my lines without my consent,” he alleged.
“They’ve been doing this to some up-and-coming artiste and the practice kills the talents of these young folks. They may think I’m nobody but I can say on authority that when I started music, D Black hadn’t even thought of doing music. I recorded an album in 2006.
“When did he [D Black] record an album? Sharon Stone also has a song like that which features Stay Jay. Stay Jay is my friend. Actually, he’s the first person to have commented that the song is a hit when I shared a link. So he knows about the song,” he stated.
Young Rich revealed that he suffered a similar fate some years ago which affected his music career and would not tolerate another unfair treatment.
“I lost my producer because of the same treatment. Kwaadee took a line from my song when we were at Morris Babyface’s Studio. It hurts. They are warned. They better get something tangible to tell me or else I will unleash the venom in me,” he indicated.
Young Rich sparked controversy last year when he released ‘Di Me Ruff’.
Per the concept of the groovy song, ‘Di Me Ruff’ when translated means ‘make mockery of me’, but some music followers argued that the artiste actually meant ‘sex me real hard.”
