Sidney ready to release ‘Papa No’ music video despite court injunction

Ghanaian musician, Barima Sidney says he is ready for the release of his ‘Papa No’ music video despite court injunction.

An individual, identified as Abdul Ganiu Issaka, has asked the High Court in Accra to restrain Barima Sidney, from releasing his latest music video.

Kofi Ajikor who speaks for the plaintiff told Adom FM that, the video for the Hiplife artiste’s song seeks to drag former President John Mahama’s name into the mud.

Thus, Mr Isaka said his team is seeking an order for an “interlocutory injunction” to be placed on the video for the musician’s controversial song.

The injunction will restrain the defendants (Sidney Oppong Ofori and his Squadie Entertainment) from releasing the said video to various media outlets and also restrain the premiere or promotion of the video.

However responding to this in an interview with Zionfelix, Barima Sidney said threats and court injunction from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) won’t stop him from releasing the video.

He explained that he got an inspiration from the fracas that ensued between Tracey Boakye, Mzbel and Kani Gloria but the character in the song was not the ‘Papa No’ they talked about in their conversations adding that, the song has nothing to do with the former President.

Background

The song ‘Papa no’ has been on the lips of Ghanaians right after it was released.

The term came about after Tracy Boakye and MzBel were at the centre of a controversy over a man they were both dating.

Although the man still remains anonymous many people referenced it to John Mahama because the two ladies had once joined his party, NDC, and met the former president.
