Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie, whose real name is Michael Owusu Addo, has initiated legal action against Ecobank Ghana Limited over alleged unauthorized use of his image.
According to a court document circulating online, the lawsuit was filed at the Commercial Division of the High Court in Accra.
Sarkodie claims that the bank featured an image closely resembling him in an advertisement without his permission, an act he argues constitutes a breach of his intellectual property rights.
