Gospel singer Agnes Iroh has called out rapper Olamide for allegedly sampling her song “Follow the Ladder” in his 2014 track “Our Lord Jesus” without her permission.
Agnes Iroh revealed that she had been unable to speak out earlier due to health challenges. She urged Olamide to meet with her to resolve the issue amicably and compensate her for using her song, from which he allegedly gained numerous awards and benefits.
