6ix9ine allegedly paid Kenyan Producer Magix Enga for Gooba copyright removal
Kenyan music producer Magix Enga claims he was paid $900 (100,000 Kenyan shilling) by 6ix9ine for Gooba copyright and deserves credit for 6ix9ine’s new hit. The song was unavailable on YouTube for a number of hours yesterday (May 31), with the message: “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim.
In a new statement, the producer claims that somebody from Tekashi’s team called him to have a copyright claim taken down after the music video was removed from YouTube because of Magix Enga’s claims. The producer is not credited on the track but he claims that the entire intro of the record should be attributed to him. He wants his credit and he will fight for it.
“Some guys called me and they were like, ‘You took the song down and we want to pay you and you put the song back as quick as possible ’cause he’s Tekashi,’ said the producer. “And I was like, ‘OK. So, how much do you offer?’ And the guys, they say they want to offer 100 Gs, which is $100,000 Kenyan money. And I was like…I was 50/50 about that, but I decided to forgive the guy and take the money, but the next day I was like, hm…I need the credit. So, yesterday, I refunded the money.”
The claims have already been disputed by 6ix9ine’s team, who claims that the uncredited beatmaker was never paid.
“We investigated this claim and found that it was fraudulent,” reads a statement to XXL. “No monetary settlement was offered by anyone in our camp.”
