“I would like to categorically state that NO agency has any RIGHTS whatsoever to my intellectual property,” he said.

The rapper emphasized that he had not granted the group any permission to utilize his video for promotional purposes.

“I, Kirani Ayat, have NOT granted any agency the authority to use my likeness or carry out any work on my behalf.”

The message went on to emphasize that the Ghana Tourism Authority had not disclosed the agency’s identity.

The letter ended by warning the group to disclose the identity of the agency and the signed contracts that formalize the arrangement with the Ghana Tourism Authority.

This comes after rapper Kirani Ayat criticized the government for appropriating parts of his music video, GUDA, without the rapper’s or the music video director, David Nicol-Sey, seeking permission.
