Ghanaian rapper and music executive Criss Waddle has publicly expressed disappointment in gospel music group Alabaster Box for taking legal action against his former signee, Medikal. The move has ignited a heated debate across social media platforms.
The controversy began on April 8, when Alabaster Box sued Medikal for allegedly sampling their hit song Akwaaba without authorization in his recent track Welcome To Africa. The group demanded that the song be taken down from all digital streaming platforms.
Reacting to the lawsuit, Criss Waddle voiced his disapproval of the group’s decision, questioning why a gospel group would pursue legal action over a matter that could have potentially been settled amicably within the music community.
His remarks, shared online, have drawn mixed reactions from fans and industry observers supporting Waddle’s call for unity and mutual respect among artists, while others believe Alabaster Box is within their rights to protect their intellectual property.
The situation continues to unfold as the case gains traction both in the media and among music lovers online.
