Atom In Hot Waters For Lying About His $20k+ Deal With Apple

Atom

You would recall that, ‘Y3 Wo Krom’ hit maker, Atom disclosed in a radio interview with Sammy Flex on his AM Pluzz on Pluzz Fm that, he was paid between $20,000-$50,000 by Apple when they played his song at their WWDC event in June.

“After they played the record at the conference, my team and our lawyer contacted Apple and we got between $20,000 to $50,000. We did it in a cool way, if we went hard we could have made more.” Atom revealed in that interview.

Now it turns out Atom lied about that as CEO of Events Republic Mel Kwasi Davis has also in an interview with Happy Fm on their Showbiz Extra disclosed that, Atom was paid before the song was even played at the WWDC event.

“Bozoma Saint John came to Ghana for a vacation and was sampling some Ghanaian songs. She wanted to take some of our music to the world. It’s my cousin who is a silent partner of Events Republic who is related to Bozoma. It was Gideon, Paa John and others who help her pick a couple of songs. Later she asked for Atom’s number and so she personally handled those negotiations.
“Even Atom and his team didn’t know how to charge so Apple gave him an offer. Even people whose names were mentioned on that stage were compensated. This was on June 15th and only for Atom to come on radio to say Apple used his song and he demanded for compensation. Bozoma’s cousin called me and asked what was happening because of the reports he heard.”

“After Y3wo Krom was played on that stage, the song became the number one most downloaded song in West Africa. The plan was to pave way for Ghanaians to be on some Apple sponsored events around the world. As I sit here, I can’t say if Apple will like to deal with us anymore.”

Well, Gh360.tv has sent a message to Atom for his reply and we are yet to hear what he has to say about this revelation
