Kuami Eugene, a Ghanaian Afrobeats and highlife musician, is motivated to set an example in the face of copyright difficulties with colleague singer Mr Drew.
This disagreement arose after Kuami Eugene claimed to have composed 80% of Mr Drew’s smash song, ‘Case.’
According to Kuami Eugene, the relationship began with negotiations between their respective management teams.
Mr Drew, on the other hand, released the music without his knowledge, causing Kuami Eugene to take action. He is now insisting on collecting 50% of the song’s royalties since he believes he is entitled to it.
“The software saved all the details of the song and it was 2020. I did it Highlife and Afrobeat but now he has added touches of Amapiano. I won’t blame him in any way, but my only problem was you cannot ship something to Ghana with someone and say we are selling on Sunday, only for you to sell on Saturday without communicating,” he told host Jerry Justice.
“His management has also denied knowing about it. If I had not expressed myself, he wouldn’t have said a word. Technically I own 50 per cent of that song and he ignored me. He is older than me but I am not little” he fumed.
Kuami Eugene said he has forgiven some industry players in the past, but with Mr Drew, he has to set an example out of him to prevent potential cases in the future.
“Some people have done the same thing to me and I left it to God. Those people they are seniors in the game and I couldn’t argue with them. I am still young and can’t fight about anything [but] I think I need to set an example with Drew,”
