Aisha Modi has barbed her fangs at Ghanaian Hiplife star Obrafour after he took Canadian rapper Drake to court for violating copyright in his song “Calling My Name” from his “Honestly, Forget” album from 2022.
According to the court filing, which was quoted by 3news.com, Obrafour declined Drake’s request to use the Tinny-featured remix of his song “Oye Ohene,” but Drake nevertheless went forward with the move.
Obrafour, whose real name is Michael Elliot Kwabena Okyere Darko, filed the lawsuit in the Southern District of New York with the help of his attorneys. Obrafour is suing Drake for “at least $10 million in damages.”
After the lawsuit’s filing became known, Ghanaian social media users expressed their opinions and made a commitment to support it.
You may remember that in 2020, Aisha Modi disclosed in an exclusive interview with the Delay Show that she was the only person who contributed $45,000 to Obrafour’s well-known “Kasiebo” record, which he released ten years prior, and received nothing in return.
In 2023, 13 years after the unsuccessful investment, Aisha Modi asks Obrafour to take the appropriate action before he considers suing Drake for violating his intellectual property rights.
I produced Obrafour’s “Kasiebo,” Aisha Modi remarked in the interview. I spent about $45,000, but I didn’t even receive GHS1 from the song. I made this investment when I didn’t even own a home or a piece of land.
Obrafour asserts that Aisha deliberately lied during the interview in an effort to damage his well-earned reputation.
Later, the rapper’s management team filed a defamation lawsuit against Aisha, but the case’s fate is still unknown.
