Renowned Ghanaian musician, DJ Azonto, known for his popular hit song “Fa No Fom,” has garnered significant attention following the use of his music during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) campaign.
In response, DJ Azonto currently known as Ice Boss with his Rolls Royce Family label publicly seeking a settlement of $100 million from the NDC for the use of his intellectual property, which he feels has played a pivotal role in energizing their recent campaign.
In addition to his monetary demand, Ice Boss has made a unique request to the NDC leadership. Should the NDC assume power in the upcoming elections, Ice Boss has called on the party to immortalize his image and that of his family by featuring himself, his mother, his wife, and his children as the Big Six on a future Cedi note.
DJ Azonto’s statement reads as follows:
The use of my song, ‘Fa No Fom,’ without prior agreement signifies the recognition of the value my brand brings to the political discourse.
However, if the NDC seeks to benefit from my creative work, I require a financial settlement of $100 million.
Furthermore, I would appreciate a lasting honor that transcends monetary value by featuring myself, my mother, my wife, and my children as the new Big Six on a future Cedi note, should the party come to power. Ice Boss stated.
Ice Boss is currently awaiting an official response from the NDC regarding this matter.
