OFM Computer World is a prominent technology, record label named “Debrich Group”, Artist Management, Software Engineering, Graphic Design, Google Optimizer, Website & App-Developing firm based in Europe with it’s affiliate in Accra Ghana.
The company has initiated legal action against the celebrated artist, citing unpaid debts and breach of contract.
The Dispute: Unpaid Debts and Breach of Contract
The legal action stems from an agreement between Esther Smith and OFM Computer World, in which the company provided her with various IT services and was signed under OFM Computer World management.
According to OFM Computer World, Esther Smith failed to fulfil her financial obligations under this agreement, leading to an outstanding debt that has remained unpaid for a significant period (3 years).
OFM Computer World alleges that multiple attempts to resolve the matter amicably were ignored by the musician and her previous backer, turns manager now.
The company’s representatives claim that they extended several deadlines to accommodate her, but despite these efforts, no payment was made. Consequently, the firm felt compelled to pursue legal action to recover the owed amount and address what they describe as a clear breach of contract.
Impact on Upcoming Concert

The event, which has been widely publicised and eagerly awaited by her fans, now faces potential disruption due to the ongoing legal proceedings.

Her management team has also remained tight-lipped, stating only that they are focused on ensuring the success of the upcoming concert.
