Ghanaian Highlife musician, Rex Omar has given a word of advice to Mantse who claims to be the rightful owner of the alleged sampled song on the Canadian Rapper Drake’s song.
This got heated after Obrafour notes Drake sampled part of his song “(y3 Ohene) and decided to make it a court case demanding 10 million dollars for copyright.
After reports about the suit went viral, music producer and event organizer, Mantse came public to say the ‘Killer Cut Blood’ voice sampled by Drake from Obrafour’s ‘Oye Ohene’ song is his.
His action has been condemned by many people.
Reacting to the suit against Drake, veteran musician, Rex Omar advised the parties involved to stop commenting on the case.
He said their assertions could be used to jeopardize the case.
My take on the Obrafoɔ/Drake
issue
- The owner of the master tape of that recorded sound has the primary right to sue.
- The creator of that particular sampled phrase “Killer cut blood” also has interest but his interest is within that of the owner of the master tape of the recorded sound.
All interested parties must STOP commenting on the case as it can be used to jeopardize the case, especially Mantse, Hammer, and Obrafoɔ.
For 1% of something is better than 100% of nothing. .”
