Reply to my song from the studio not court- Kumi Guitar to Quarme Zaggy
There seems to be no end in sight regarding the tussle between two highlife artistes, Kumi Guitar and Quarme Zaggy, as the former has reacted to the threat of court action by the latter.
Few weeks ago, Kumi Guitar released a new song christened “Sex” which mentioned some artistes like, Shatta Wale, Bless, Kuami Eugene, Kofi Kinata among others and described them as non-virgins.
Kumi mentioned Quarme Zaggy in the song and described him in some words which did not go down well thus, eliciting a quick response from him (Zaggy).
Quarme Zaggy who felt slighted in the song, has since threatened legal action, saying the lyrics about him amounted to defamation of character, for this reason Kumi Guitar should be prepared to meet him in court.
Reacting to this, Kumi Guitar told The Spectator that, “this is a creative piece, and as a musician, he could not have used any other professionals, than those in his own circles who ply same trade.”
He stated that the music was to create humour, and entertain people, and was surprised that Quarme Zaggy, a known Ghanaian musician did not see the artistic intent.
The “Betweener” hit maker, (Kumi Guitar) posited that after he released a song dubbed “Dream”, Quarme Zaggy countered with a song “Tototfiifii” which he (Quarme Zaggy) threw a jab at him, but he did not take the court approach to settle the issue.
According to Kumi, he expected a reply lyrically from other artistes, to keep the music scene active or vibrant.
“Together with my label we are ready for him, being the first to go to court, does not make one a victor,” he said, stressed that he did not intend defaming anybody, rather, he believe this could bring about togetherness.
Kumi Guitar, said “he doesn’t want to overburden music lovers with a lot of songs, and considering the upcoming elections, he would wait a little and release his album next year.”

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
