Hi Mike
@iamobrafour
I'm disappointed at your actions. Would be good to tell the public the truth about this matter or I will be forced to lay out how you've never paid a dime for any of my works on your songs over the last 20yrs.
Ghana's Nadia Eke qualifies for 2019 IAAF World Championships +2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Nadia broke the triple jump national record 14.33m (+0.8) on her first jump at the 2019 Racers/adidas Grand Prix in Jamaica. Old record was 13.93m set in 2017 by Nadia.

@iamobrafour
please tell your coons
I've been trying to get you to meet my lawyers since
@Drake
released that song. You cannot claim compensation on my intellectual property that you also didn't pay for. We can revert to what I suggested last year and keep it moving.
For the record
@iamobrafour
filed a law suit to lay claim to my intellectual property without notification. Mike I expect you to tell the truth about this matter or I will .

and the music scene on the coast knows that. The campaign to "bring it back" is most disingenuous of artists too ignorant to acknowledge the creator.

This is to confirm I [Mantse Aryeequaye] insist that
although
@IamObrafuor
has interest in the matter, he is not the owner of the right, and cannot
assert it, definitely not alone, or make any demands for sole compensation for its use.

@Drake
I wish to convey firmly as owner of the right and request
that you consult my lawyer Kofi Bentil kbentil

before you take any
steps regarding claims for compensation for the use of the intellectual property of Mantse Aryeequaye. You've been notified.

including the "Killer Cut" sound you sampled off "Oye Ohene" remix used on Obrafuor’s album.

Today,
@iamobrafour
sued

for copyright infringement for sampling "Oye Ohene (Remix)" in the track "Calling My Name."
Obrafour says Drake' previously sought permission to use the work, didn't get it, and released the track days later anyway.
