Kaywa, who not only held a crucial role as a producer but also founded the Highly Spiritual label, openly accused Mr. Drew of ingratitude as he parted ways with the label. The musician, however, countered these allegations and has been vocal about his disagreement on various platforms.

The unfolding drama took an unexpected turn during Mr. Drew’s recent appearance on Showbiz 260, a prominent program on Accra’s TV3 network. The 27-year-old artist, while expressing his gratitude for the guidance he received during his time with the label, surprised everyone by disclosing a heartfelt decision. In a surprising show of appreciation and reconciliation, Mr. Drew announced that he would be foregoing his future royalties in favor of his former label boss.
“I want to use this platform to thank Highly Spiritual Music and Papa Kaywa for the five years of working together. It wasn’t an easy journey, and I want to express my gratitude,” Mr. Drew shared during the interview. He went on to elaborate on his decision: “I believe leaving my share of royalties to the label is a significant part of expressing my gratitude to Highly Spiritual Music. It’s my way of saying thank you.”
This revelation has sparked conversations across social media platforms, with fans and industry insiders alike discussing the artist’s unexpected and magnanimous gesture. The move appears to signal Mr. Drew’s genuine desire to mend bridges and let bygones be bygones with his former label. While tensions may have marred their past, this generous offer of relinquishing future earnings showcases Mr. Drew’s commitment to showing appreciation and fostering a sense of closure.
As the news of Mr. Drew’s decision continues to circulate, music enthusiasts and the public eagerly await further developments, wondering how this gesture might impact the ongoing dynamics between the artist and his former label.
