As a gesture of gratitude, Ghanaian highlife and afrobeats musician and dancer Andrew Nii Commey Otoo, better known by his stage name Mr. Drew, announced that he would be giving his previous record company, Highly Spiritual, his portion of the royalties earned from his music.
On August 18, 2023, during an appearance on Showbiz 360 with Giovanni Caleb, which was monitored by 1Family radio, he made this revelation and offered his sincere gratitude to his old label, Highly Spiritual, and manager Kaywa.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Papa Kaywa for working with me for five years and for the extremely spiritual music in general. It was not easy; therefore, I want to thank him. I’m leaving them my portion of the royalties. That, in my opinion, should be a component of my expression of gratitude and thanks to highly spiritual He said, “I leave everything to him.”
After his five-year contract concluded, Mr. Drew left very spiritual, but controversy quickly followed when the singer claimed that, had he had a careful legal understanding of the deal, he would have rejected it.
Payers in the business criticized him for his statement and charged that he was disrespectful of the label and unappreciative. Later, Mr. Draw claimed there was no ill will and that he and his previous label remained friendly.
