Their collaboration, which can be heard on Sarkodie's "Jamz" album, saw Inkboy provide the song's hook.
Nevertheless, Inkboy maintains that despite their collaboration, Sarkodie has neglected to credit him in the music video and has not given him his fair cut of the revenues.
Inkboy vented his annoyance via a string of tweets, saying that although he values the chance to work with Sarkodie, he still expects to be appropriately compensated for his services.
He made it clear that he did not work for free on their partnership and that he should be paid his fair portion of the revenues.King @sarkodie what you are doing is not good at all. I place high regard on your name but it’s seem you prefer me calling you out and people saying I’m ungrateful. Pls give me my royalties for one million cedi it’s long overdue Haba you be legend o nawa

Inkboy says that even after contacting Sarkodie several times to air his complaints, his wishes remain unfulfilled.
He emphasized the need for openness in the music business and demanded that musicians receive just compensation for their labor rather than receiving publicity in exchange for their effort.
I made this song and gave it the title one million cedi and all I get now is hate from @sarkodie fans cos I’m not allowed to call him out ?? As a bigger person is one year not enough time to do what is right ? I won’t let this slide give me my royalties pic.twitter.com/1SdXsM8aTV

People who work suppose chop are fed up with getting paid for "exposure." Isn't this the intended state of affairs? These days, transparency seems to be important," Inkboy continued.
The public outrage from Inkboy has not yet been addressed by Sarkodie or his management.
