Ghana’s Amapiano king, DJ Azonto, has expressed anger at Nigerian singer Naira Marley for using his signature term “Attassa” to promote the new song “Dangerous.”
In a post on X, Naira Marley simply wrote “Ataasaa” to his followers as part of the build-up to the release.
However, DJ Azonto, who describes himself as the originator of the street anthem “Attassa,” did not take it lightly.
Speaking in an interview, the “Fa No Fom” hitmaker warned Naira Marley and the entire Marlian fanbase to refrain from using the term without his approval.
“I already warned Sarkodie and others not to use it, and for Naira Marley to use it without my consent to promote his new ‘Dangerous’ song, it is illegal and unlawful,” he said.
