DJ Azonto Slaps Medikal with $100M Demand Over Use of “Alla” in “Shoulder” Track
Ghanaian Amapiano artist DJ Azonto has issued a \$100 million demand to rapper Medikal, accusing him of using his popular catchphrase “Alla” without permission in the new song “Shoulder.” The track, which features Shatta Wale and Beatztrap KOTM, has drawn criticism from DJ Azonto’s camp, who claim the phrase is a vital part of his brand and musical identity. A statement from his team argues that “Alla” is not just a slogan but a signature element that resonates with his fan base and represents his artistic persona.
In addition to the \$100 million, DJ Azonto is also demanding expensive diamond chains and other compensation, warning that legal action will follow if the issue isn’t resolved. His team emphasizes that the unauthorized use of “Alla” infringes on his intellectual property rights and deserves recognition or collaboration if others wish to use it. While the song “Shoulder” continues to gain traction online, Medikal has yet to issue an official response to the accusations.
