Drake is currently facing a lawsuit worth $10 million, by a
Ghanaian rapper
A Ghanian rapper has slapped Drake with a lawsuit
to combat the ‘unauthorized sampling’ of his music.
The news has
been brought forward in documents published by Music Buisness Worldwide.
The
Ghanian rapper in question, Obrafour, real name Michael Elliot Kwabena Okyere
Darko, appealed to NYC courts over the issue.
The rapper claims, Drake’s song Calling My Name features a short
clip of the phrase “Killer cut, blood, killer cut”, and it has been taken from
his own track titled, Oye Ohene.
According to Insider, the duo were
“working on a sample clearance for Republic recording artist Drake” but
without a response, Drake release the song, and album, with the unsampled
work, before working things out with the rapper.
