VIDEO: Pappy Kojo Thrown Off Stage At Uniland Festival For Causing Confusion.
Ghanaian hip-hop artist, Pappy Kojo, has made headlines once again after a heated incident at the recently concluded Uniland Festival in Accra.
Trouble began to brew when the artist threatened to interrupt the event via his X platform. I’m coming with boys to come stop the show. next time u will know who to play with’, He posted.
Social media videos showed the moment Pappy Kojo stormed the stage and grabbed the DJ’s turntable. In a subsequent tape, he was confronted about the incident.
According to an eyewitness, Dessy Fayden an entertainment journalist at Metro TV, Pappy Kojo took such severe action due to the event organizers allegedly failing to pay appearance costs.
Fayden reported, “Pappy Kojo seized my colleague @iamdjlegend DJ controller because he said the Uniland organizers owed him. That’s why he was on the stage and was eventually pushed off. My boy’s controller is now damaged.”
In an interview with Accra- based Ghanaweb, DJ Legend said the police had to intervene to compel Pappy Kojo give back his equipment to him.

“During the show, there was a power outage, and when the light came on and I was about to start, what I realized was he had taken off my cables and carried my controller away. So I had a confrontation with him and I told him.
“… I spoke to him for more than ten minutes and then even the police came, and they told him that he should return the mixer to me. And that if he had any misunderstanding, he should go to the organizer.
“Before I knew it, he had gotten on a motor and was going out with it… So I rushed to the other side with the help of the police, and then they stopped him and managed to convince him to give it to me. But he instead dropped the device on the floor, damaging it,” he said.

The machine, however, according to DJ Legend, is damaged beyond repair.
“The mixer is damaged beyond repair, some of the knobs are broken off, and the internal circuits are also damaged. I would prefer to be compensated for it, but for now, I have reported the matter to my mentor Mercury Quaye,” he said.
