Ghanaian Hiplife Legend Obrafour Sues Drake For Copyright Infringement
Obrafour(L) , Drake (R)

In June of 2022, Canadian rapper Drake released a song titled, Calling My Name, which appeared as the 6th track of his Honestly, Never Mind album.


Shortly after the release, social media went into a frenzy when it was discovered that a sample of the song used by Drake belonged to one of Ghana’s Hiplife Legends, Obrafour. 


When it was revealed that Drake had used a sample from Obrafour’s Oye Ohene remix, fans took to social media to request Obrafour sue Drake.

 

 

In a screenshot of an exhibit that surfaced online, it is revealed that Obrafour had initially aired a request from the rapper to use the sample after which he proceeded to release the song regardless. 


According to the suit, Ghana's Rap Sofo wants at least $10 million in damages among other things.
