Mr. Drew, the stage name of Andrew Nii Commey Otoo, has discussed the difficulties he had while working with Highly Spiritual .
The ‘Case’ hitmaker claimed that the time was characterized by difficulty and ultimate achievement.
He revealed these details while discussing his path to fame in an interview with Giovani Caleb and AJ Sarpong on 3FM.
He recalled, “Things under the record label were on and off. It wasn’t normal but it was manageable. I quite remember Papa Kaywa coming to speak that at a point in time, I was even trying to sell my car, so that should give you a fair idea of how bad things were. That was before the hit songs came, after that, it got better but things got better but it still wasn’t there. It was manageable.”
Mr. Drew confirmed that there were no unresolved issues that contributed to his leaving Highly Spiritual while speaking about his departure.
Instead, it was a mutual choice that was made with respect and understanding. “My contract was up, but I was able to avoid quitting abruptly. I was able to break my contract. All parties involved mutually understood and moved on, he said.
The interview’s most noteworthy element, though, was Mr. Drew’s reiteration of his intention to leave Highly Spiritual his part of royalties; this was an unusual act in the music business and a show of appreciation.
He reiterated his prior statement that he is leaving behind the royalties he had previously received from the company for his popular songs.
