Enock Agyepong Slams Rise of “Brand Killers” in Ghana’s Music Industry, Calls for Legal Action

Ghanaian music producer and entertainment critic, Enock Agyepong, has publicly criticized what he describes as a growing culture of “brand killers” within the country’s music industry.

In a strongly worded Facebook post, Enock compared the music business to any other professional sector, questioning why individuals within the creative space would openly threaten to destroy brands they are expected to work with and benefit from. He described it as both unethical and risky for industry players to go on air or use public platforms to boldly announce plans to bring down businesses.

According to him, constructive criticism is necessary and healthy when brands fail to meet expectations. However, he warned that crossing the line into threats and deliberate attempts to ruin companies is unacceptable. Enock was blunt in his assessment, describing such conduct as either sheer foolishness or something more troubling, especially when it comes from people who earn their living from the same industry.

He further advised brands that feel threatened or have lost deals as a result of these public attacks to consider legal action. He explained that such conduct could amount to defamation or unlawful interference with business, and therefore deserves to be tested in court. In cases involving criminal threats, he suggested that reports be made to the Criminal Investigations Department headquarters for proper investigation.

Looking ahead to 2026, Enock said the time has come for the entertainment industry to rely on the law to set clear boundaries and establish precedents that will protect brands and restore sanity to the space.

He also mentioned respected legal practitioners, including Lawyer Kwadwo Ofori Dankwah, while encouraging affected brands to engage any competent lawyer they trust to defend their interests.
