Award winning Ghanaian rapper Guru has debunked media reports that suggest he has parted ways with his business partner Ray Moni.
Speaking exclusively to www.nydjlive.com the rapper who is preparing for the release of the Gold album stated explicitly Ray Moni was not his manager as suggested but rather his executive producer.
“I think people don’t know really know the difference between a manager and an executive producer. I disclosed Ray Moni was not my manager and that’s simply because he’s the executive producer and doubling as an acting manager”
This comes hours after the musician and his executive producer shared varying opinions on the release of a new single “Are U Aware?” that seems to have sparked some controversy.

“Celebrated hiplife/hip hop Ghanaian artist ,Guru has indicated that Ray Moni is not his official manager.
Guru, on September 26 released a song titled “Are You Aware? featuring Benji. After releasing the song, Social media sensation Divine Diamond who is known for her viral video which is also dubbed “Are You Aware” had accused the award-winning rapper Guru of stealing her intellectual property.
According to Divine, the term “Are You Aware?” and the rhythm was her intellectual property so she demands compensation from Guru’s management
However, in response to this allegation, Guru’s manager, Ray Moni, admitted that Divine owns the "intellectual property”.
“Yes, Guru took her song. Even though the original song has been in existence for some time now, we admit that she made it popular,” Ray Moni opined.
But speaking on Am Pluzz, Guru surprisingly refuted those claims by reiterating that he never contracted Ray Moni to speak on his behalf because Ray Moni is not his official manager.
According to Guru, ever since he abrogated his contract with ex-manager Frank Agyekum, he has never had an official manager.”
