RUGGEDMAN begs PRINCEADEKUNLE.''Daddy pleaseforgive me'

Did you just say ruggedman again?well yes but
this time,he is not slicing anyone with his
lyrics,instead he is begging for forgiveness from
the old general whom he 'lifted' his lyrics and
added to his song 'a word is enough for the
9ice'..a rap song dedicated to musician abolore
akande a.k.a 9ice.
Word had it that the old general was about to sue
the rapper for copyright and the rapper went in
search of the prince.he tweeted that he had met
with the general and i contacted him to find out
how the meeting went and he delighted me with
what transpired..
''you remember I told you last time you
interviewed me on this issue that his son got in
touch with me on facebook.He gave me the
Generals number and my manager called,got his
address and fixed a visit last Tuesday but when
we were ready the generals phone rang without
him picking up.So we did not go again but fixed
to go whether he picked up or not.we went there
thursday january 20,2011.
Since he is an elderly man I decided to go with a
senior coleague out of respect for the general.
So we young boys won't just be talking to him.I
asked my friend and brother Gbenga Adeyinka
1st CFR to accompany us.We met the general in a
house inside Ketu and we were welcomed warmly
even from outside the house there was jumping
and shouting as the women outside recognised
Gbenga Adeyinka,Obviously from the numerous
tv shows he hosts and his magazine Laffmattaz.
The general was in the living room with a
musician coleague of his.Gbenga spoke first on
the reason we were there, that we have offended
and have come to meet our "daddy"to beg for
forgiveness and also prayers.
I told him of how we kept calling the number on
his cd but it turned out to be a marketer and not
his management.
The general asked his friend to speak and he said
he was surprised when he heard about a part of
his song being used without permission but now
that we had come humbly things are now
different
The general said he was happy we came,that
some of his people had been talking about sueing
me.
That even if he asks for 100 million that it will
finish one day He prayed for us all individually and
blessed me and my music.It was a memorable
day for us all, I could not ask for permission to use
part of his song before I did but I got his blessings
after''.
Nice move Rugged,copyright is a crime and you
are lucky you got off easy....NEXT!!
