Ghanaian Rapper, Obrafour is reportedly suing Drake for $10 million, after the Canadian rapper sampled his song, “Oye Ohene Remix” on his track, “Calling My Name”.
The rapper is being accused for copyright infringement of sampling some portion of Obrafour’s song without his permission.
The Oye Ohene Remix song featuring Tinny & DJ Quest Gh was released in 2017 and appeared on Throwback Gh Mix Vol.2.
According to sources, Champaign Papi, whose real name Aubrey Graham Drake purportedly sought permission to use the song but was declined by the high life legend.
“Obrafour sues for copyright infringement under the Copyright Act, and seeks all remedies afforded to him there under, including preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, monetary damages, including but not limited to, actual damages, profits directly and indirectly attributable to from Defendants’ infringing conduct, statutory damages under the Copyright Act in the sum of up to $150,000.00 per infringement where such infringement commenced after the Copyrighted Work was registered with the United States Copyright Office, and other economic relief,” part of the suit reads.
