Rev. George Owusu Mensah, a Senior Pastor at the St. James Baptist Church in Kumasi, has accused Evangelist Diana Asamoah of stealing his song titled\u00a0“Agya Ma Wo Nsa So”. Speaking in an interview on Ultimate ‘Inspiration and Gospel Chat’ hosted by Winfred Daniel Nii Adjaye, he indicated that Evangelist Diana Asamoah made the song her own and commercialized it after agreeing to pay a fee.<\/p>\n
According to Rev Owusu Mensah, he composed the song “Agya Ma Wo Nsa So” years ago but the respected gospel musician stole the song and refused to give him any credit.<\/p>\n
He recounted how Diana Asamoah approached him with the prospect of doing a remix of his song only for her to return later saying that the song was now public so there was no point paying him any money.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter helping her to re-arrange the song, she recorded the song, but came back only to say the song was in the public domain and that there was no point showing gratitude or giving credit to me the composer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe said one pastor told her that the song was a public domain, in other words, I didn\u2019t write the song, and that I told her a lie, maybe a thief as well,\u2019 he narrated.<\/p>\n
He disclosed to host Winfred Daniel Nii Adjaye, that he was not angry with Evangelist Diana Asamoah\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t feel insulted by her comment. It didn\u2019t break me down. She told me she has paid artistes like Prof. Kofi Abraham but she cannot pay mine, she\u2019s comfortable like that,\u201d\u00a0he expressed.<\/p>\n
Rev. George Owusu Mensah indicated that there are a majority of gospel artistes who have disrespected him by taking his songs for free.<\/p>\n
He cited that he called \u2018Jane and Bernice\u2019 when they took one of his songs saying he collected some monies from them after some interventions by some pastors.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was apologetic, but I told her songs don\u2019t drop from heaven, songs are given to men and sometimes the men may be alive and that she should have found out the owner of that song,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Rev. Owusu Mensah further accused Akwasi Nyarko of taking his song without crediting him.<\/p>\n
Evangelist Diana Asamoah and Akwasi Nyarko refused to comment on the claims when they were called on phone. He wrote \u2018Se Me Te Ase\u2019 for Rev Mrs Emmy Newman for a fee.<\/p>\n
