The song’s producer, Hammer, has finally addressed the issue.
Speaking with Kwame Dadzie on JOY FM’s Showbiz A-Z, Hammer addressed the concerns expressed by Mantse Aryeequaye, a different singer whose voice Drake borrowed for the remix.
Following the litigation, Nii Mantse Aryeequaye contended that since his voice was sampled, he ought to have been a party to the action.
Hammer did, however, reassure everyone involved in the song’s creation that if Obrafour wins in court, everyone will win.
“It is everybody on the song against Drake. Obrafour is only leading the conversation. So I don’t know what the hullabaloo was about,” he clarified.
In response to inquiries over how each contributor was named in the case, Hammer clarified that Obrafour was in the lead since he was the song’s owner, and that all others participating in the song were included in the lawsuit.
He further revealed that Obrafour had a conversation with all parties involved, including Mantse, before proceeding with the lawsuit.
“We are mentioned in the docket. The publishing of the song has Tina, Tinny, Mantse, me, and Obrafour. Obrafour is the one leading because it’s his song. He owns the copyright.
“He spoke to everybody. I connected the conference call. We were all on the call. We all agreed, and Obrafour went on with the suit,” Hammer confirmed.
