Bisa Kdei is an ungrateful musician - Socrates Sarfo

Ghanaian movie producer Socrates Sarfo has lashed out at highlife musician Bisa Kdei accusing him of being ungrateful.

Socrates does not understand why the acclaimed highlife musician will go thanking his fans for his success and leave out his producer.

He vented his anger at Bisa Kdei on Facebook Sunday evening shortly after the musician heaped praises on his fans during an interview on Pluzz FM. He wrote, “Bisa Kdei is an ungrateful musician.”

Supporting his comments on Hitz Entertainment News on Monday, Socrates said, “if someone has promoted you and you are thanking the fans and not the producer, isn't that ungratefulness? They always look down on producers, actors look down on producers, everybody looks down on producers but when they are in dire need then they will be on producers.”

The outspoken producer also recounted Bisa Kdei's tough journey to fame. He said, "Was it not ‘Azonto Ghost’ that made him popular? It took a film producer Mustafa Adam to be promoting the song, paying the payola and after that Bisa took all the glory he played everywhere and took the money and he couldn't even say thank you.”

“He played shows and took money for it and after making the name, when you call him to do a song for you, he'll tell you he won't do it and start quoting outrageous figures even more than production cost,” the movie producer added.

Asked if the film producers had a contract with Bisa that binds him to perform the songs for the music videos and to pay a percentage of the hit songs to the producers, Socrates said,

“I called you to work for me and why did he even charge me? It wasn't for free and after doing it who then does it belong to? It's for me that is why you took the money and the purpose of the song is my movie so if you want to use it for other purposes, then we have to negotiate.”

“Where were those fans when you were roaming and begging for your songs you recorded to be played. Songs that no one had heard before. It was only when the producer paid monies for some of those songs to be played before you even came to the limelight? Nobody knew you, where were those fans,” he added.

hmmmm, Its really unfortunate this always happens. Some Movie and music artist always forget their produces when they excel but during the time that they want to come up, they always remember and worry them for help.
Bisa is really a talented musician and all i can say is, if this really true, then he gotta change. He still needs a good producer to help him excel more and more.

Socrates shouldn't forget that without the fans the music producers and the musicians are nothing... The fans promote their songs by purchasing their produce,i.e the songs they record.... We are humans and we are fallible, we make mistakes....Maybe Kdei forgot to include his producer when thanking his fans but it doesn't mean he is ungrateful.... Waiting for Bisa Kdei's reaction to this.....

Lets pay no mind to Socrates Sarfo, what at all does he expect K Dei to do? mention his name every where he goes ? feature him in his videos? all he knows to do is shooting cheap inferior movies like kyewaa, hot fork and the like. You can tell he is educated yet he is no different from the illetrat filmmakers who shoot dumb movies just to make a buck oblivious of the effects such movies have on our children.
He's been making movies since the early nineties. I was surprised when I found out he made the movie Step dad which was shot in 1994. Movies like Love brewed in ''African pot'' shot in the 80's by Kow Ansah makes you wander why movies made in this day and age are so poorly made.
