Kweisey Pee must Explain why I was left off “Monto Song” – CityGod Aruu Speaks Out
Ghanaian versatile artist CityGod Aruu has publicly expressed disappointment over what he describes as his unexplained exclusion from the hit song “Monto,” a track widely associated with Kweisey Pee, in which he was featured.
In a recent interview on Despite Media’s NEAT F.M with Abena Moet, CityGod Aruu lamented that despite his alleged involvement in the creative process behind the song, his name was not featured or credited when the record gained mainstream attention. According to him, the situation has left his fans questioning the circumstances surrounding the release.
“Only Kweisey Pee can explain why my name was not included on ‘Monto,’” Aruu stated, hinting at unresolved issues behind the scenes. While he stopped short of making direct accusations, his remarks suggest a deeper concern about recognition and fairness within collaborative projects.
The song “Monto” has enjoyed notable success since its release, gaining traction across streaming platforms and within Ghana’s music circles. However, Aruu’s statement has now shifted part of the conversation toward transparency in crediting contributions, an issue that continues to surface in the creative industry.
Industry observers note that such disputes are not uncommon, especially among rising acts navigating collaborations without clearly defined agreements. Situations like this often highlight the importance of proper documentation, communication, and mutual understanding among artistes and their teams.
As of now, Kweisey Pee has not publicly responded to the claims. Fans and stakeholders alike will be watching closely to see whether clarification or resolution emerges in the coming days.
CityGod Aruu’s remarks add to the ongoing dialogue about artist recognition in Ghana’s evolving music landscape, where talent, collaboration, and credit must align to sustain trust and growth within the industry.
CityGod is currently out with two singles, “ Obaa Hemaa” and “Day Dreaming, Featuring Qwesi Ded Buddy.

The Church of Pentecost Causes Arrest of Gospel Musician Francis Amo Over Alleged Song Theft; Consultant Explains
The Church of Pentecost has reportedly caused the arrest of gospel musician Francis Amo over allegations of song theft.
According to reports, the singer was invited by the Accra Central Police Command for questioning and was subsequently detained.
Speaking to Max TV on the matter, intellectual property expert and consultant Dr. Benjamin Oduro Arhin Jnr, popularly known as Bnoska Bnoska, confirmed the arrest. Dr. Arhin Jnr, who also serves as a lecturer and personal consultant to Francis Amo, confirmed that the arrest was initiated following a complaint from the church and explained the circumstances leading to it.
“Francis Amo has been ministering in the church since as far back as 2008 without taking any payment. About a month ago, he was invited to sing at Easter. During the event, the church taught him a song and instructed him to perform it at the service.
“The song, written and composed by a man identified as Elder Moses, is titled “Ode bone kye.” After his ministration, Francis Amo reportedly confessed to the church that he liked the song. He later proceeded to do a worship recording of the same song and sought permission to release it from Pastor Bortey, who instructed him to officially write to the church, which he did.
According to him, the pastor gave him approval and told him he could go ahead and release the song. He subsequently released the song on Wednesday. However, on Thursday, the pastor called him and instructed him to pull it down, which he complied with. It is further alleged that the church was dissatisfied with the manner in which he handled the situation.
While the original song was titled “Ode bone kye,” Francis Amo titled his version “Ne din de Jesus.”
“On Friday, the Accra Central Police Command called him and informed him that the leadership of the church had lodged a complaint against him, alleging that “you are a thief; you have stolen their song,” and that he should report to the police station to respond to the allegations.”
Dr. Arhin Jnr stated that they reported to the police as required by the invitation, after which Francis Amo was arrested and detained.
“According to the complaint filed against him, he is being accused of being evasive, recalcitrant, and disobedient towards the church, and is therefore being treated as a criminal who must face the full rigour of the law. Which is not the case, he concluded.
