Richie Mensah Replies Guru: Defends Kuami Eugene

CEO of Lynx Entertainment and singer Richie Mensah aka Richie has finally narrated his side of the story as he has defended his artiste (Kuami Eugene) for what he said to Guru.

Guru posted on his Facebook page that Kuami Eugene has denied him a collaboration because he disrespected his boss Richie.

The “Lapaz Toyota” Hitmaker also saw what Eugene said to him as disrespectful because to him the fight is between him Guru and Richie so Kuami has no right to say what he said to him.

But the man in the centre of the controversy Richie has seen the need to voice out this time to defend himself, his artiste and the Lynx Brand.

Instagram post below;

“I normally stay quiet in most situations but this time I only feel it’s right I say something. Guru asked Lynx for a feature with either KiDi or Kuami Eugene, but the request was denied. He then went from one media house to another insulting myself and other members of Lynx management, even to the extent of accusing us of sabotaging his career for the past 10years. He spun stories which implied we have some extreme power in the industry to vitiate someone’s career. As usual my team and I stuck to our usual demeanour and stayed mute. When Kuami Eugene was asked in an interview if he would feature Guru, he simply said he couldn’t because Guru had insulted me consistently, and it wouldn’t be right to do a feature with someone who was disrespecting his boss. Let’s call a spade a spade. There was nothing disrespectful in what Eugene said. I’m a responsible leader, and I would have chastised my artist if he spoke out of turn. So my question is, those attacking Eugene for allegedly disrespecting his elder Guru, where were they when Guru was attacking myself and my reputation in a disrespectful manner? We talk about unity in the industry and then we go around bringing each other down. I personally have no problem with Guru. Never have and never will. like to conserve my energy towards constant success and development than to waste my time on petty squabbling. Guru is a natural hitmaker, and doesn’t need KiDi nor Kuami Eugene on his song to make a hit. So there really should be no offence taken in any of this. So can we just drop all this wahala and everyone go back to making hits for Ghana”.
