With the release of Drake’s new studio album, Ghanaians have assembled on Twitter asking veteran Ghanaian rapper Obrafour to sue Drake over what they term “copyright infringement”.
Drake dropped his newest studio album, Honestly, Nevermind and one of the tracks off the album, Call My Name has a line which Obrafour orated over 2 decades ago.
Obrafour produced the song “Oye Ohene” Rmx featuring rapper Tinny. The opening line of that song featured the tagline “Kill a Cat blood, Kill a Cat“.
Drake’s new song “Call My Name” has the same line and after a snippet of the track was made available on the internet, music lovers have asked the veteran Ghanaian musician to take advantage of the situation and cash in big time from the Canadian superstar, Drake.
“Drake sampled Obrafuor in his latest album? Where are Obrafuor’s lawyers? Sika aba fie.” a tweep wrote.
Music producer King Of Accra also chipped in, “If it is true (because I don’t know) then you have to ask @iamobrafour maybe he is aware and has been paid already. If not then of course it can be taken on for compensation if he did not grant the use of the said sample.”
