Embittered gospel artiste, Isaiah Kwadwo Ampong popularly known as The Great Ampong has expressed his anger over a raw deal he suffered at the hands of highlife veteran, Charles Kojo Fosu, known in showbiz as Daddy Lumba over an alleged GH¢340,000.00 album launch proceeds which the later pocketed.
“I went to church with Lumba, it was because of me that the man of God gave him an opened top car. I wanted to help him get healed by God so that he will know God better, but our friendship became like that of Jesus and Judas. Whilst Jesus was focused on Judas’ salvation, Judas on the other hand aimed at making money from Jesus.”
Speaking with Kojo Preko Dankwa on Kasapa Entertainment on Kasapa 102.5FM, the renowned Gospel musician said Daddy Lumba gave a declaration during the launch of the ‘Hosanna’ album that he will from henceforth discontinue recording highlife songs.
Ampong advised the Highlife Great to commit to memory his own promise to God who healed him that he’ll always serve him.
“He (Daddy Lumba) gave a testimony in the house of God that he wouldn’t venture into highlife music but I don’t really know if he is in the studio recording a highlife song. He should remember his own testimony, he should also remember the God who healed him, he should remember what he said about desisting from highlife music and his vow to serve Jehovah his entire life.”
Preko then asked Ampong if all the eight (8) songs out of the ten (10) he wrote were registered in his name, he replied “Oh no with even the songs he (Lumba) still sells them in traffic so I never ventured to go close to it. In Ghana the system we came to meet that is how it’s supposed to happen.”
The host then asked why he didn’t claim the copyright of the album, Ampong then disclosed “Oh it’s mine so count it as part of my intellectual properties but because of busy schedules I haven’t gotten time to register… I will register soon.”
The two artistes, (Daddy lumba and Kwadwo Ampong) formed a group called Kojo Kojo to release hit single, “Hossana” in 2015.
According to Bandex, manager of Great Ampong, the two musicians agreed to share the money they will get from the launch of the song.
He added that the management of Lumba took away the money they got from the launch of the song immediately after the event when Ampong was taking pictures with his fans without his knowledge.
Ampong is out again with another album titled ‘Yehowa Kai Me’ which literary means God remember me.

Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers,some trust in money others trust in pictures my friend forget it.
Lumba did same to Ernest Acheampong.
Why this childish and uncivilised behaviour of this Ampong guy? Today lumba this, tomorrow Lumba that, aaahba!!! What at all do you want from the guy or you just enjoy talking about him? You said he took the money from the album launch not even the album sales yet you did not go to court.Let me tell you, in every civilised society we settle issues of such nature in court not media houses. The guy is not minding you or responding to any of these allegations but we hear you talk about him every day. Grow up Mr Ampong!
How well does Ampong himself knows God.His explanation keeps changing from radio station to radio station.What was the agreement between the two of you?Did you sign any contract at all?Who spent his money on the album?The good for nothing presenters can't ask any important questions.If you did not sign any agreement with him and he happened to have spent his own money on the album then you are not a business man and you should stop doing music for a living.
two NPP gurus robbing themselves, we just dey watch
Did I hear Ampong say he was taking pictures. Abha you have got this big money and your pictures are so important to you than that. Anyway sorry you better take him to court and stop using the media
Lumba is known to be like that, because he has done it to other people so my brother and good friend KWADWO please leave it and move God shall surely rewards you.
