Earlier today, court documents that has been shared online via the District Court of Southern District of New York, revealed that Obrafour is suing Drake for sampling his “Oye Ohene (Remix)” in his song “Calling My Name.”
Details of the suit suggest that Drake had sought permission to sample the song via email but the email was never responded to. He however, went ahead to release the track which was featured in an album days later.
Based on the success of the song which was on Drake’s highly published, “Honestly, Nevermind” album, Obrafour is asking for $10,000,000 as compensation.
