Ghanaian rapper Guru NKZ has detailed the circumstances that led to the personal and working breakdown in relationship with music group Wutah.
According to him, after investing over GH¢65,000 to revamp the defunct group, they turned against him when it was time for the profits to be shared.
In an exclusive interview, Guru said he was disrespected, verbally abused and relegated to the background after he had invested time and money to produce the group’s hit song “Bronya.”
“My record label believes in quality, so I spent nearly Ghs 65,000 on Watah’s AK-47 video alone.” The contract was unusual in that it was split 50/50.
“Do you remember how it ended?” After the song ‘Bronya’ became popular, the artists came and said, “We haven’t done much to deserve 50% of their money,” so they proposed 70% for themselves. We agreed to give them 60% because they weren’t attending the shows we had scheduled for them.”
Guru also added that he was told to back off when he approached the group for his share of the dividends accrued on his investments. According to him he was looked down upon and told point-blank, that he did not deserve a dime.
“‘You small boy, you want to chop our money, what have you done to deserve that amount,’ one of them said.” I’m even polishing some of the words that were used against us. Inquire of Baby Dapaah. She can attest to the unprintables they employ.
“Words that kill the human spirit, I regret investing in their craft at times.” I had to let go of everything because it was so filthy. “My entire investment went down the drain,” Guru lamented.
