Ghanaian comedian Foster popularly known as Romanus has diclosed MOBO Award winner and dancehall act Samini cannot sue him for impersonating him and performing his songs live on radio.
Acording the comedian who joined NY DJ on Y102.5FM’s flagship morning show Ryse N Shyne ahead of the Freedom Concert slated for the 6th of March 2015 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium stated he knew several artists who had been paid to perform their own songs but ended up singing Samini’s songs on stage so he would find it funny for Samini to threaten to sue him.
“……well em, you know, I know some people who have been doing Samini’s songs on stage but still doesn’t sue them so Samini can’t sue me because me is a representation of Samini. 5 star general” he said in Patois.
