Yaw Siki Refuses Revenue from Hit Song “Wope Dodo”, Labels it “Unholy”
Ghanaian musician Yaw Siki, known for his popular song “Wope Dodo”, has made a surprising announcement – he will not accept any revenue generated from the sale and distribution of the song, deeming it an “unholy song”.
In an interview with Mr. Foxx on Kessben FM’s Drive show, Isaac Okai popularly known as Yaw Siki explained that despite the song’s continued presence on streaming platforms and revenue generation, he is not interested in receiving any proceeds. “I’m the author of the song, and I know the intention behind it,” he stated.
The gospel musician-turned-hitmaker emphasized that nothing will compel him to accept revenue from “Wope Dodo”, unless it is disguised as a gift. “I’m sure Killbeats and other producers will still receive some revenue from the song, but as for me, I’m not interested,” he said.
Yaw Siki’s decision stems from his recent shift to gospel music, leading him to reevaluate his past work. “Wope Dodo” was a popular hit, but the artist now considers it unaligned with his current values.
The musician’s stance has sparked interest among fans and industry peers. Yaw Siki’s commitment to his newfound faith and artistic direction demonstrates his growth and dedication to his craft.
As the music industry grapples with artists reevaluating their past work, Yaw Siki’s decision serves as a notable example. His fans await his next move, curious about his future projects and continued growth as an artist.
