Musician Young Rich is aggrieved, to say the least, following what he describes as an apparent approach by colleagues D Black and Stay Jay to outsmart him and take the spotlight.
Young Rich is accusing D Black of stealing the concept of his song ‘Di Me Ruff’ for his newly signed act, Ms Forson and Stay Jay of doing same for Sharon Stone.
In an interview with Bismark Boachie (DJ Premier) on Accra FM’s Entertainment Capital, Young Rich who released his song in on September 19, 2018 vehemently chastised the rappers for the ‘unfair treatment’ meted out to him.
“Ms Forson has also recorded a song with same title and has even picked some of my lines without my consent,” he fumed.
“They’ve been doing this to some up and coming acts and the practice kills the talents of these young folks. They may be thinking 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.”
Young Rich mentioned that he was furious because a similar experience some years ago affected his music career, hence, he will not tolerate another.
He said: “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, else I will unleash the venom in me.”
Young Rich sparked controversy last year when he released his ‘Di Me Ruff’ song.
Per the concept of the groovy song, ‘Di Me Ruff’ when translated means ‘make mockery of me’ but some read sexual connotations to the song as they argued that the artiste actually meant to say ‘bonk me real hard’.
In the song produced by Peewezel, the singer poses as an adult who questions a child why he would mock him despite the age difference.
“Children of nowadays have no respect for the elderly. You are mocking me? Why would you mock me? Keep making mockery of me,” he sang.
In the second verse, he switches to how some ladies bent on getting the attention of men put on provocative dresses and serves notice of his readiness to prove to such ladies he is man enough when they finally agree to make love.
