Enock Agyapong advices Artists to Sue Lookalikes impersonating them and the Media Houses Promoting them as well.
If Lookalikes can buy our Mainstream Entertainment Media then our Media is VERY CHEAP.
Airtime is very expensive and therefore radio and Tv is treated with RESPECT.
Radio & Tv is suppose to broadcast facts & the truth, reason why you're taught its ethics before you're put on air.
Radio promotes and advertises products and brands reason why slots are paid for.
Kindly walk to Okay 101.7 FM and ask for the cost of doing a funeral Announcement for just 1min 4times a day and you'll understand this writeup.
Artist get slots due to the nature of their work as Creatives and some even payback with performances and promotional packages.
In this industry of ours before an Artist can breakthrough to become an A-list artist it takes a lot of Hardwork and illegal payments called payola. So for some people who call themselves Lookalikes of the original Artist to have easy access to these media platforms to promote themselves and subsequently jump on stages to perform the repertoire of the original Artist then I can only conclude that this is a recipe for disaster fuel by our Media Houses.
Artist get Airtime because they have some form of talent to offer but that does not even come cheap therefore for some people who are Counterfeits or duplicates of these talents to walk straight into a radio or TV station in the name of these Artist for interviews is simply absurd.
I don't know who in his right frame of mind will sanction such impersonation interviews.
Yes social media is a social space that accommodates everything and that makes it cheap but radio is not suppose to accommodate everything including Counterfeits infact radio is suppose to validate and authenticate brands so if you see radio or TV behaving like social media then you should know there is a fundamental problem.
Radio have ethics that's thought in schools so if you have the ethics being thrown to the dogs then we really have a problem.
I'm not the one to tell you the problems that comes with throwing radio ethics away but one thing I can remind you off is that it comes with a lots of LAWSUITS and I'll urge the Artist to take legal Action against the Lookalikes and the media Houses before it's too late.
Moreover we will use these suit as a case study for the growth of industry.

The video below is a submission by one of Halifax panel member who said Eugene does not have the right to his IMAGE or Brand outlook in fact he went further to say that even if you wear a seemingly looking military uniform you have NOT committed any crime until you start acting like a military man.
He said all this ON AIR without anyone correcting him.
