Teletubby 137,570 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Ghanaian artist Obrafour has filed a lawsuit against Drake, claiming that the superstar rapper’s 2022 track Calling My Name featured an unauthorized sample from one of Obrafour’s own works. Fifty-three seconds into that track, a vocalist can be heard saying “Killer cut, blood, killer cut.” In the lawsuit Obrafour alleges that this line was taken from a remix of his 2003 track Oye Ohene. The lawsuit seeks a minimum of USD $10 million in damages. On top of the $10 million in damages, the lawsuit seeks profits made from record sales, streams, live performances and other sources of revenue linked to Calling My Name. It also asks for compensation to cover Obrafour’s legal costs. In the suit, Obrafour claims to have emails from someone at Republic Records seeking to clear the vocal sample so that Drake could release the already-recorded track. That email went out on June 8, 2022, and the agent sent a follow-up email on June 13. Obrafour hadn’t yet responded to these emails when Calling My Name dropped on June 17, the complaint alleges. source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
