Kuami Eugene has disclosed that Mr. Drew has fulfilled his financial obligation of his contribution to the song, ‘Case’.
The ‘Rockstar’ had revealed that he wrote about eighty percent of Mr. Drew’s song, ‘Case’ but the latter failed to either acknowledge his input or pay him.
However, in a new interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz with DJ Slim, he said Mr Drew has gotten in touch with him and given him his due.
“He didn’t have a total knowledge of what he was doing. He didn’t know that if you put music out there without the consent of the one that wrote it, it’s illegal. So I won’t blame him. He is a brother, and I am glad he learned and he hit me up right after everything.
He’s given me my percentage,” he noted.
A few weeks ago Kuami Eugene mentioned that he wrote the hook and parts of second verse of the song.
“I wrote the entire hook, and some part of the second verse. I wrote like 80 percent of that song. In fact, before he came to record the song that hook and everything was already done, he listened to it and sang it,” Kuami Eugene told vlogger Naana Donkor Arthur in a TikTok Live conversation.
He said he writes songs for other artistes because he cannot sing all the songs he produces, especially when he notices a particular song fits the style of another artiste.
“It’s just a blessing that you write songs for people to sing even though I get paid for it. Drew didn’t do that [didn’t pay me] but we will talk about it later,” he said.
Kuami who said Mr. Drew had declined to respond to his messages, asked advised the ‘Case’ singer to provide a split sheet so they could both reach an agreement on proceeds from the song.
I love peace, so me, Kaywa, him, whatever is going on, let’s get it fixed. He can send one split sheet and that will solve everything. I am saying this because he has seen my messages and has blue-ticked me as if he has not seen them but the song is doing well on the market,” he further stated.
Some artistes Kaumi has written songs for are Kuame Yogot, Keche, MzVee, and Joyce Blessing.
