Agnes Iroh Calls Out Olamide for Unauthorized Use of Her Song “Ladder”

Gospel singer Agnes Iroh has spoken out against Olamide, accusing him of using her song “Ladder” without permission in his track “Our Lord Jesus”. In a video shared online, Iroh expressed her disappointment and frustration with Olamide’s actions, stating that he did not ask for her permission before using part of her song.

Iroh revealed that she has been dealing with health issues, which is why she hadn’t responded to Olamide’s actions until now. She extended an invitation to Olamide to visit her, hoping to resolve the issue amicably.

The controversy surrounding Olamide’s use of Iroh’s song highlights the importance of obtaining permission and giving credit to original creators. This is not the first time a Nigerian artist has been involved in a song controversy.

However, some artists have demonstrated a willingness to do things right, such as Simi, who sampled a song by Ebenezer Obey and obtained permission before releasing her track.

The music industry is built on creativity and respect for one another’s work. As Agnes Iroh’s situation shows, it’s essential for artists to prioritize obtaining permission and giving credit where it’s due to avoid conflicts and maintain the integrity of the industry.
