Renowned gospel artiste, Ohemaa Mercy has stepped in to mediate the escalating copyright dispute between veteran music producer, Kwame Mickey and gospel group, Team Eternity Ghana.<\/p>\n

The controversy centres on Team Eternity\u2019s recent hit \u201cDefe Defe,\u201d which Kwame Mickey alleges unlawfully samples an older song by Hallelujah Voices, a group under his production.<\/p>\n

The dispute started when Kwame Mickey took to social media and accused Team Eternity of coping Hallelujah Voices.<\/p>\n

According to Mickey, the title, lyrics, and arrangement of Team Eternity\u2019s version closely mirrors those of the original track, despite having different melodies.<\/p>\n\n

This has sparked widespread debate within the gospel music community, with opinions divided on whether the similarities constitute copyright infringement.<\/p>\n

But Ohemaa Mercy has publicly pleaded with Kwame Mickey to show leniency towards Team Eternity.<\/p>\n

She emphasized the importance of unity and reconciliation within the gospel music community, urging Mickey to consider an amicable resolution over legal action.<\/p>\n

This appeal comes at a time when the Copyright Office has also advised Team Eternity to address the issue promptly to avoid further complications.<\/p>\n

As the situation unfolds, Team Eternity is yet to officially respond to the allegations.<\/p>\n
