Ghanaian producer, Gafacci, has called out Sarkodie over the rapper’s alleged mishandling of production credits on his new album Highest.
Gafacci expressed his grievances in a series of tweets via his Twitter page few days ago.
He accused the rapper of tampering with his own compositions by giving it to another producer to remake.
The aggrieved producer said that this sort of mishandling of other people’s creative work by the popular rapper was tantamount to “lack of integrity.”
He said that he was aware that this type of mishandling of creative rights happen to up and coming producers but he did not know the extent until happened to him.
Gafacci claimed that “All I Want Is You”, track 15 of the Highest album was originally composed on his own production before the rapper allegedly failed to go by the original design.
TRACK 15 ON #HIGHEST ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY COMPOSED WITH MY PRODUCTION. BUT @SARKODIE PULL A FAST ONE. EH BOYS!

The producer said that Sarkodie’s camp did not reach out to him pertaining to the changes they were going to make on the project he was supposedly part of.
He said they should have gotten in touch with him if they had intended to make any changes to his work instead of giving him a shout out on radio.

He added that he was away from the country (Ghana) so he could not have heard anything.
The producer described Sarkodie as “autocratic” adding that he had worked with other important Ghanaian artists and they were not like him.
5. I have worked with every important artiste in GH. Some are very understandable. Some just be autocratic.In this situation Sarkodie is.
