The management team of Ghanaian musician DJ Azonto is seeking $10 million in compensation from Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the unauthorized use of the artist's hit song "Fa No Fom" during the Vice President's presidential campaign events.

In a press statement released by Rolls Royce Family, the team revealed that the song was used without permission at a campaign event in Nalerigu, North East Region.

The incident gained significant attention after a video of the event went viral on social media.

“The Rolls Royce Family, management of DJ Azonto, is deeply disappointed to announce that the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, used DJ Azonto's song 'Fa No Fom' without our consent during his presidential campaign events in the North East region, Nalerigu,” the statement read.

The management team emphasized the critical need to respect creative rights and intellectual property laws, stating that this infringement undermines the legal rights and creative efforts of DJ Azonto and his team.

They are demanding $10 million to compensate for the misuse of the song in such a high-profile campaign.

“This amount reflects the value of the work and the damages incurred to the artiste and management due to its misuse in such a high-profile campaign. We also emphasize the importance of respecting our copyright laws and intellectual property rights,” the statement concluded.
