Legendary Ghanaian gospel musician Esther Smith has responded to allegations from OFM Computer World and its CEO, Dr. Debrich Jeremiah Acheampong, regarding a debt of over $240,000, representing a 40% share of revenues from digital stores and control over her music rights and platforms.
OFM Computer World claimed that in 2020 under the leadership of Dr. Debrich Jeremiah Acheampong, the company established the YouTube channel EstherSmithMusic to promote Esther Smith’s gospel music career as part of a digital partnership.
OFM Computer World said a legally binding agreement was signed by Esther Smith on June 16, 2020, which recognized the company as the rightful creator and manager of the channel, as well as entrusting it with the technical and promotional management.
However, the company has alleged that Esther Smith without prior consultation or consent, unilaterally altered the channel’s password and recovery email, effectively excluding the original creators and managers.
Responding to these allegations in a statement posted via her X account, Esther Smith explained that she believes OFM Computer World and its affiliate, Debrich Consultancy, took actions that led to unauthorised control over her digital platforms, including her official website and YouTube channel.
