GHOne presenter, Serwaa Amihere, had an engagement with Ghanaian music producer Kwabena Ofei-Kwadey Nkrumah, professionally known as Kobby Spiky, who recently secured a significant legal victory in a copyright infringement case against the Confederation of African Football (CAF), according to recent reports.
The lawsuit, which dates back to 2022, centered on Spiky’s claim that CAF had used his music beat titled “Okomfo Anokye” without authorization for promotional purposes.
After a lengthy two-year legal battle, Justice Emmanuel Lodoh presided over the case and ruled in favor of Spiky.
While CAF acknowledged using Spiky’s work for promotional activities, they maintained that there was no commercial exploitation involved. However, the court sided with Spiky, ordering CAF to remove all unauthorized materials featuring his music from their social media platforms.
As part of the ruling, Kobby Spiky was awarded damages amounting to USD 250,000 in Ghanaian cedis, reflecting the impact and value of his creative work.
Following the court's ruling, Serwaa Amihere who interviewed Spikey jokingly claimed a part of the money awarded to him by the court with the justification that they are friends.
"This man here is $250,000 richer and he is my friend. And so I am entitled to some part of the money," she said amidst inconsistent laughter.
She then asked, "Spiky, are we not friends?" and he responded, "Yes, we are."
Reacting to the court’s decision, Spiky expressed satisfaction with the outcome and highlighted its broader significance for Ghana’s creative arts industry.
“This victory isn’t just for me; it’s a win, especially for all creatives and for young Ghanaians who have lost faith in the system,” he remarked.
