MOG Beatz, Shatta Wale Settle Copyright Dispute

Ghanaian music producer MOG Beatz has announced that his copyright dispute with dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has been fully resolved.

In a press statement issued on social media on December 11, 2025, MOG Beatz said this resolution reflects a commitment to protecting creative work and ensuring fairness in the music industry.

“The Copyright Infringement issue involving Charles Nii Armah Mensah and me has been fully resolved as of today, 11th December 2025. This milestone reflects a collective commitment to safeguarding creative work, promoting mutual respect, and ensuring fairness within our music industry,” he stated.

He expressed gratitude to his legal team and thanked everyone who supported him during the process.

“I extend my heartfelt appreciation to my legal team, whose professionalism and dedication were instrumental throughout this process. My sincere gratitude also goes to Mr Seidu and Mr Kojo Spio for their unwavering support, guidance, and steadfast belief in justice. To everyone who stood by me, encouraged me, and valued the importance of protecting artistic rights. Thank you,” the statement added.

The announcement did not reveal the specific terms agreed between the two creatives. However, it officially ends the dispute that had attracted significant attention in the Ghanaian music industry in recent months.

The conflict began on August 19, 2025, when MOG Beatz accused Shatta Wale of earning millions from selling his music catalogue to an international company without compensating the producers who worked on the songs. MOG revealed that he had pulled down two of Shatta Wale’s albums, The Reign and Wondaboy, from Apple Music.

According to MOG Beatz, the sale of the catalogue removed credits for him and other producers and transferred 100% ownership of the works to Shatta Wale. The resolution marks an important step toward respecting artistic rights and promoting fairness in the Ghanaian music scene.
