Despite the call by fans and the general public to KOD and Ambolley to bury the hatchet and let peace reign, it seems the feud between the two has just began.
Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, a veteran highlife musician earlier this week responded to a statement made by KOD that he has no right to blame the VGMA for the decline in the Ghanaian highlife music.
According to Ambolley, the statement by KOD depicts that he is still and child and hence shallow-minded. “I see KOD as a child. He is shallow-minded and that is why is saying those things,’’ Ambolley noted.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday which was captioned ‘Final Words to Ambolley’, the disc jockey stated that Ambolley is an ungrateful old man because of the statement he made about VGMA.
The statement which was sighted by 1Family Radio indicated that the VGMA board is made of celebrated highlife musician like Amandzeba, Bessa, Simons and Diana Hopeson and all these musicians will not sit down and allow VGMA to be a curse to the highlife.
“It will only take an ungrateful artiste to ever suggest VGMA is a curse to highlife,’’ KOD noted.
KOD explained that he decided to comment on Ambolley’s statement about the VGMA because he realized that the musician has done a lot of lose talks in the past especially against his own colleagues.
“At a legendary status, one earns his place in his chosen field of endeavor and should not make mediocre statements against his colleagues filled with malice and reckless baloney. That’s not the place of icon,’’ he said.
Reacting to statement that he is still a child, KOD wrote, “the small boy as he describes me, supported him for almost thirty years of his career and made sure he was not left when he facilitated the legends Glo signed up when they came to Ghana. I’ve always knew that Ambolley is a charlatan.’’
KOD adviced Ambolley to learn from other legends like Paapa Yankson and Pat Thomas because they are true men with noble characters who remember those who looked out for them.
“Wisdom is not a preserve of old age and grey hair. There are older men in communities and families but the children often rise to lead.’’
“These are my last words to the great Ambolley, our last from the good old Western stock. I still love his music,’’ he concluded.
