Kirani Ayat has buried his intentions to sue the government of Ghana and the Ministry of Tourism for using his song without his consent.
The Northern-based rapper shared on Twitter a bitter complaint about how the Tourism Ministry dismissed his proposal in 2018/2019 to use his song to promote tourism in Ghana. Three years later, it’s one of the songs featured in a government initiative.

Kirani Ayat tweeted: “The president of Ghana has used my video, “GUDA”, in this ad to promote Ghana. I was actively reaching out to the Ministry of Tourism in 2018/19 to use this video to push tourism in the North and got NO reply. Yet, today, it’s in an ad, and no one reached out to me for permission.”
