Entertainment critic Arnold Asamoah Baidoo has criticized rapper and businessman Criss Waddle for his recent social media comments regarding the ongoing legal battle between gospel group Alabaster Box and Medikal.
Speaking on UTV’s United Showbiz on Saturday, April 19, 2024, Arnold described Criss Waddle’s remarks as unnecessary and immature.
He said, “Criss Waddle’s tweets about Alabaster Box’s GH₵15 million lawsuit against Medikal make no sense,”
He fired Waddle for choosing to mock the gospel group on social media instead of guiding Medikal to address the issue appropriately.
“Criss should have acted maturely by calling Medikal to order and allowing him to acknowledge the fact that he was wrong by sampling some part of their songs, rather than writing that rubbish on Twitter,” he said.
Arnold described the rapper’s actions as “Nsem Hunu,” stressing that “there was no sense in what he wrote if that is his actual Twitter page.”
He also questioned whether Criss Waddle, as a creative himself, would be pleased if his work was used without permission.
“Would you be happy if same was done to you, especially as a creative or an entertainment person you are?” Arnold asked.
Arnold emphasized that every artiste’s music is their intellectual property, and that should be respected regardless of the genre.
