The Ghanian act made the claim via her social media page
Ghanaian singer, songwriter and performer Ama Serwah Genfi, popularly known as Amaarae, has slammed another Ghanaian artist, known as Moliy, for claiming credit for their breakthrough hit song titled “Sad Girl Luv Money.”
Recall, the song has debuted on music rankings such as the Ghanian Top 20 of the most pleasant music and the most played Ghanaian song on Spotify since its release.
Moliy, who was a featured artist on the song, took to her Twitter page on March 6th, 2022 to claim that she contributed, wrote, and performed 80% of the original song.
She went on to claim that she was removed from the remix as the song “grew more popular”. In her lengthy tweet, Moliy went on to say she is yet to receive any revenue from the song.
See her tweet below:
I’m super grateful for the success of Sad Girlz Luv Money and thank you @amaarae for trusting me to contribute/ write and perform about 80% of the original version. The global success of the remix with @KALIUCHIS is also something I’m really grateful for

I’m sure it comes as a shock to most cos @amaarae performs my lyrics of the song every chance she gets. I wrote it to motivate all young women to be confident and successful, and this was the perfect opportunity for two Ghanaian women to be the face of that.

It is our responsibility to set good examples and act in maturity to inspire more women and empower them within the creative space on the Continent! At the end of the day women should hold each other up and not tear at each other.
Have a lovely weekend.

On the other hand, Amaarae lambasted Moliy in a lengthy Twitter post, calling the claims a slap in the face when all she sought to do was give a fellow Ghanaian performer a chance to shine by putting her on the song.
Amaarae went on to say that Moliy’s team had made sure to limit all possible revenue streams for the song.
