Kuami Eugene Claims 80% Songwriting Credit on Mr. Drew’s ‘Case,’
The Ghanaian music scene finds itself in the midst of a brewing controversy as Kuami Eugene, the acclaimed artist, has recently alleged that he penned a substantial portion of Mr. Drew’s hit track, “Case,” yet went uncredited for his creative contribution. This revelation has ignited discussions about collaboration ethics and the importance of proper song credits in the music industry.
Kuami Eugene’s claims came to light during an episode of “DIGITRENDZ” on #ShoutsOnY, hosted by @winstonmicheals and @bigkris_dj, where the artist openly voiced his concerns. While acknowledging Kuami Eugene’s undeniable talent, some have expressed reservations about the public manner in which he chose to address the situation.
In his own words, Kuami Eugene stated, “I wrote 80% of Mr. Drew’s hit song ‘Case,’ but he has failed to give me credit. He dropped the song without my approval, and when I texted him to ask, he left me on read.”
This revelation has reignited the debate over the importance of song credits in the music business. Songwriting credits serve not only as a form of recognition for creative input but also as a crucial factor in the financial well-being of artists. When an artist is properly credited, they become entitled to a share of the royalties whenever the song is played, streamed, or used in various media.
The issue raises questions about the responsibility of artists and their teams in ensuring that all contributors receive the recognition and compensation they deserve. In the music industry, transparency and professionalism in matters of collaboration are paramount.
