Mark Okraku Mantey, chairman and CEO of Slip Entertainment, said that Lord Kenya should change attitude regarding the granting of credit to people who have helped him in his career.
Speaking at HitzFM's Daybreak Hitz, Mr. Mantey said at any time that the former hiplife artist must thank Slip Entertainment for helping him in his career, "he dodges".
In an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, Lord Kenya said that he became popular after leaving Slip Entertainment.
The music producer was responding to Lord Kenya's statement, saying it was disheartening to find that the hard work and teamwork he has done with his people in the management of Lord Kenya are not appreciated.
"I inducted Lord Kenya into all the sample brand where we brought great people to accept his brand. We did not have the acceptance, so I put it on the song "Kokooko" [by Daasebre Gyamenah] and his appearance on 'Kokooko' propelled him to another stage, "Okraku Mantey said.
He explained that the hard work of Slip Entertainment allowed Lord Kenya to conclude an agreement with Miss Ghana, Club Beer and to perform at the first Ghana Music Awards (GMA) in 2000.
"If the album was not indelible and monumental enough, how come you [Lord Kenya] got the deal, if you were underground [artist], "He told Andy Dosty, host of the series.
The music producer said, "You can compare the second and third album of Lord Kenya and watch the sound production, you will see how much we [Slip Entertainent] worked on the second album. It was his platform to go out, grow and bring out his third. "
He stated that the former Hiplife artist was not known for one song but for complete albums featuring five to six hit songs.
The Hitz FM program manager said he had been observing for a few years and was silent on some of those comments from Lord Kenya. However, these comments are becoming generalized.
Mr. Okraku Mantey said, "This trick of making it look like a slip was not enough for him. [Lord Kenya] but he worked hard alone, he should stop him.
He said that even after Lord Kenya separated from Slip Entertainment, he [Mark] had no problem when a beat that he created with Appietus was given to Lord Kenya.
"I had just gone to the studio and told Appietus that I had this concept that I wanted to do, but it would not suit any of my artists. Therefore, when I'm done, you can give it to everyone. When I came out of Appiah, he told me that Kenya was well placed and that he wants to give it to him. I had no problem, "he explained.
Mr. Okraku Mantey stated that Lord Kenya had not given him credit after the publication of the song, even [Lord Kenya] knew who was producing the beat, "and you never hear him pay homage to the type of Castro who wrote (words) for him."
He said that we had to talk about ingratitude in the creative space: "it is becoming a culture and a habit, it is hard to give credit to people" .
"Lord Kenya must change attitude," added the CEO.
