Ghanaian Afrobeats and highlife singer, Kuami Eugene says he wants to set an example out of the copyright issues he has with colleague singer, Mr Drew.
Earlier, the Lynx signee disclosed that, he wrote 90 percent of Mr Drew’s hit song, ‘Case’.
Opening up on how that collaboration came about, Kuami Eugene said “it was a conversation between our management, and we decided to do it, that is how everything came about,”
However, Mr Drew released the song without Kuami Eugene’s knowledge and he [Eugene] has vowed not to let it slide.
According to Kuami Eugene, he deserves 50 percent of the song’s royalties hence Mr Drew must do the needful by splitting the revenue.
“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,” he said.
Kuami Eugene is currently promoting his new 13-track album dubbed ‘Love and Chaos”.
