In a recent interview with media personality Nana Romeo Welewele on Accra-based radio station Peace FM's 'Ekwanso Dwoodwoo' show, Sloopy Mike Gyamfi burst into laughter as he accused Kuami Eugene of sampling his song without his consent.
The highlife legend alleged that the former Lynx Entertainment signee perfectly sampled his 'Asem Kakra' song and that a video of his performance was on YouTube.
Gyamfi claimed that Kuami had no discussions with him to seek permission before sampling the song.
He said:
"Kuami Eugene took my song. You can find it on YouTube. He did it very well. He sang the song so nicely. The song was Asem Kakra. If you Google the song with Kuami Eugene's name, you will see it."
"He did a good job with the song, though. Kuami Eugene did not speak with me before using my song."
The veteran musician claimed that the Monica hitmaker did a cover of his song and added his lyrics.
He noted that he considered Kuami Eugene, who has been accused of unlawfully sampling songs on several occasions in the past, like a son and that he had no problem with his alleged action if he did it because of admiration for him.
However, Mike Gyamfi stated that the singer should have consulted him before creating a rendition of his song.
He said:
"In the video, he was singing Asem Kakra. It is not like he used the song. He was singing my Asem Kakra song, but he added his own lyrics to it. It is also on YouTube. He is like my son, so if he admires what I did and wants to do something with my song, I have no problem with it."
"But he should have at least consulted me first before doing it."
He doubted whether Kuami, who left Lynx Entertainment in 2025, knew him personally, as he stated that he had forgiven the young singer and had no grudge against him.

Gyamfi added that he would appreciate it if the former MTN Hitmaker participant would meet with him one day.
