Kuami Eugene, a signee with Lynx Entertainment, revealed in an interview with Berla Mundi that he had “bullied” musician Mr Drew into paying him profits owed from the hit song “Case,” which Eugene claimed to have written. Eugene stated that after attempting amicable methods to obtain his share of the song’s earnings, he ultimately needed to retain legal counsel to compel Mr. Drew to “act morally.”
When pressed by Berla on why he resorted to legal action against someone he considered a friend and collaborative partner but did not do the same with musical group Keche, who he alleged also failed to pay him for writing their song “No Dulling,” Eugene explained that he refrained from taking legal action against Keche out of respect for them as veterans in the music industry. He did not wish to dishonor them despite feeling wronged.
Mr Drew chanced upon Eugene’s interview comments and responded by denouncing him as a liar via social media post. Drew wrote, “Aside from the fact that he’s a liar, who made him think being younger than someone is a flex? Jon boy.” This post clearly refers to Eugene seemingly touting his younger age relative to older musicians as some kind of praiseworthy attribute or advantage.
The post also makes reference to including video of the interview and Mr Drew’s reactionary response. Their dispute apparently stems from disagreements over songwriting credits and subsequent royalty payments.
