Teletubby 126,986 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 ‘Safaera‘ sampled a variety of tracks, including Missy Elliot’s 2001 hit “Get Ur Freak On. One of the Bad Bunny’s ‘Safaera’ credited authors Jowell said someone had to have brought it to Missy Elliot’s attention, likely due to the amount of the song’s success. Jowell claimed Missy Elliott asked for “millions” of pesos, which Rimas Entertainments’ label manager Noah Assad had to make an agreement over. The agreement resulted in each of the songwriters’ royalties dropping to 1 percent each. “I owned between 15 to 30 percent [originally]” Jowell said. “They took everything. They gave me 1%, Randy 1%, even Bad Bunny has like 1%.“ “Many people think that I was made into a millionaire with ‘Safaera’ but no,” Jowell explained. For Jowell, it was supposed to be the “opportunity hit of a lifetime,” but because of the song’s uncleared sample mistake, it didn’t turn out to be that way. Jowell also said that it was everyone’s fault, mentioning Bad Bunny, Jowell & Randy, the record label, and the producer’s negligence. source Update: Cockroach of GGD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Don't make mistakes like this and you won't be crying about it later. I love lov love Bad Bunny but it's what they all deserved and if after that song you couldn't get another hit. That's on you. Bad Bunny is doing just fine without that song.

It doesn't sound like an honest mistake, but something they thought they could get away with. No artist wants their work ripped off, and let's not act like any of the 4 writers don't know how to clear a sample or as if they themselves don't get their own tracks sampled and cleared on other's works.

Ariana Grande had to give 90% of “7 Rings” songwriting royalties to the estates of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. Olivia Rodrigo (who didn't sample but her songs just sound similar) had to give: 50% of songwriting credit for deja vu to Taylor Swift's “Cruel Summer” writing team, 67% of “1 step forward, 3 steps back” to Antonoff and Taylor for “New Year's Day”, 50% of “good 4 u” to Paramore (“Misery Business”).
