The singer of the popular "Defe Defe" song has expressed shock at the approach used by Team Eternity in addressing issues regarding copyright.
Kwame Mickey, who is the producer of the original "Defe Defe" song, has asked Team Eternity to do what is right by meeting him and compensating him.
He intends to pursue the issue because, to him, they sampled parts of a song he produced in the past.
Speaking on the issue for the first time in an interview on Kumasi-based Hello FM, Mabel Tiwaa Rockson of Hallelujah Voices said she was not pleased with the approach taken by Team Eternity on the matter.
She indicated that she enjoyed their song when she heard it and thought they should have approached her earlier because it would have settled the matters more easily than it is now.
"I heard my children singing the song and I thought they were the ones who had coined something like that. However, it turned out a group had sung it. I wanted to do a remix, but I had to hold on because their song was out there and was doing so well.
"It was later that Kwame Mickey reached out and said he had called out Team Eternity on social media and that if he had told us, we would have told him to give it to God, but he would not take that approach.
"So they called my husband and told him that we are Christians and so we should treat it as Christians and not like the people who sing hiplife. I felt offended when my husband told me about what they said," she said in the interview.
