Music Producer, Kwame Mickey And Team Eternity Finally Settle ‘Defe Defe’ Copyright Infringement Case

The ‘Defe Defe’ copyright infringement case involving USA-based Ghanaian music producer, Kwame Mickey and Team Eternity, has been settled.

Barely two weeks ago, Mickey accused the Ghanaian Gospel music group of using a portion of a song he owns the copyright without authorization.

He angrily threatened to seek legal redress.

Many media outlets in Ghana discussed the issue.

But in a statement released on July 1, 2024, it was announced that Kwame Mickey and Team Eternity have solved the copyright issue amicably.

The resolution was witnessed by Debrich Jeremiah Acheampong of OFM Computer World.

“The parties have duly entered into a License Agreement under which Kwame Mickey grants to TEG the non-exclusive right to use in the New Song, those words derived from the Existing Song.

“The parties thank all those who helped them reach this amicable resolution,” part of the statement read.

Amid the accusation of song theft against Team Eternity, it came to light that the original ‘Defe Defe’ song was written by Osuani Afriyie and sung by Hallelujah Voices. It gained massive airplay some years ago when it was released.
