If anything happens to me, Glen Boateng and all team members of ground up chale should be held responsible- Kwesi Arthur
Emmanuel Kwesi Danso Arthur Junior who goes by the stage name Kwesi Arthur, has publicly accused his former record label Groud up Chale and CEO Glen Boateng for demanding an amount of $150,000 for using images of himself for a project he is currently working on.
Barely a month ago, Kwesi Arthur became the center of attention after he shared a clip of a song He is currently working on.
The video triggered massive support and love from fans.
Following the release of the clips, the Ghanaian Rapper has taken to his social media to express his frustration over what he described as wrongful treatment from his former record label “ Ground Up “
In a post shared on X on January 21, 2026, Kwesi Arthur accused the label of demanding $150,000 from him for using images of himself for his current project.
According to him, the label claims to own every project he worked on before their fall out. He also claimed that ever since he parted ways with Ground up Chale, he has not earned any income from the music he produced during his time with the label.
“If anything happens to me Glen Boateng and all team members of Ground up chale are responsible and should be held responsible. I am currently being asked to pay $150,000 for using images of MYSELF for this current project. Ground up claims to own me, my image, my music and everything attached to it from 2016 to this day. Although I have not worked or had any affiliation to the company since Son of Jacob. I have not made a dime from any of my music within the period I worked with them for years now and receive constant threats and manipulation from Glen who is living off of my money and hard work.
If for whatever reason this project that I am trying to give to my fans independently gets taken down, know Glen is responsible. He is working constantly around the clock for me to never put out music again. I’ve tried to not say anything for a long time though this has affected my wellbeing and mental health greatly but for the safety of myself and my family I choose to publicly share the truth”he stated.
The rapper alleged that efforts are being made to stop him from releasing his music independently
