Management of Mr Drew issues statement on removal of Mr Drew’s music from YouTube

The Highly Spiritual music label has spoken on Mr Drew's copyright brouhaha with Rotimi following his ‘Eat' song that features Stonebwoy's music video getting deleted from YouTube.

The statement reads:

Our attention has been drawn to news circulating that our artiste, Mr Drew hasstolen a song “Love Riddim” belonging to Rotimi, an America/Nigerian artiste.

The song was a ‘cover version' a remake or revival of the original performance and onevery occasion our Artiste credited the originator ‘Rotimi'.

We want to state emphatically that our Label is previewed to all the copyrights

Infringement Laws and as such we wouldn't do such a thing intentionally. There was a little miscommunication between our digital publisher and that of Rotimi's which caused them to block the video on copyright grounds. Moreover, the label is in talks with the rightful outfit and Mr. Drew is in a friendly conversation with Rotimi.

We unequivocally take the blame and promise to make sure this never happens again in the future.

Signed

David Kojo Kyei ( Kaywa)

CEO, Highly Spiritual Music
