According to legendary music producer Fred Kyei Mensah, musician Ofori Amponsah lied about coming into contact with Daddy Lumba himself.
Iconic Highlife musician Samuel Ofori Amponsah has stated that after recording his demo, he went to meet Daddy Lumba in his home to express his intention of working with him without the assistance of anyone.
However, in an interview on TV XYZ’s show “The Legends,” Fred Kyei Mensah, also known as Fredyma, disclosed that he personally presented Ofori Ampnsah to Daddy Lumba.
“One of my Uncles introduced me to Ofori Amponsah and told him I could help him record his music. So I was there one day when Ofori Amponsah came to me with his demos and I listened to some of the tracks. I later asked him to sing another song he had and he started singing “Odo Mbra Fie” which was nice. So I hurriedly went to town with him to buy a new keyboard to record the song”, he revealed.
Fredyma declared that he took Ofori Amponsah back to the studio.
“Right after buying his new keyboard, he had to record Ofori Amponsah that very night to be able to meet Daddy Lumba. We took the keyboard to Adabraka and recorded the song that very night on a cassette and took it to Lumba’s house”, Fredyma claimed.
“So we went in my car to Lumba’s house and I told Lumba that this is Ofori Amponsah, he wants to sing like you and this is his song. So after listening to the song (Odo Mbra Fie) Lumba confessed the song was good and agreed to work with him” Fred Kyei Mensah said.
