Rapper Drake Stuck His Foot In His Mouth Again!

Not to mention that even Trey Songs Jumped on the band wagon of discrediting Kia Shine.

Isiswisdom broke the story out on her blog that Kia shine had received 3 BMI awards for co-writing the song.

Kia Shine:“Drake sampled the melody, some of the words, cadence, etc. So because I had already registered the original record, my business was in order. I sent in the Drake record and let my legal team handle it from there. We were able to settle at 25% of the “Best I Ever Had” publishing. It’s a blessing, but the moral of the story is to “follow up to get your dollars up” and always be prepared and on top of your business.”

Drake then responds back on his blog: ” There have been questions posed to me the last few days about the writing of Best I Ever Had and I figured I’d take the time to clear the air directly.”

“I have never met Kia Shine or worked with him. I wrote the entire composition in Toronto and I borrowed one line from a Lil Wayne song that he produced the BEAT for. The claims of 25% ownership are false and for a artist to brag about splits on a song is distasteful to begin with.”

But Entertainment Blogger Necole Bitchie investigates and calls someone over at BMI to find out what the truth was. Here is what she found out: After checking BMI’s database and noticing that Kia Shine was not credited for the song. I reached out to Hanna Pantle over at BMI who straightened the whole situation out. According to Hanna, The song was sampled and there are copyright laws that state if you sample anything, the person gets the songwriting credit which is what Kia shine did. Kia Shine is legitimately listed as a songwriter on the record and BMI wouldn’t have given him an award if he wasn’t. The only reason Kia’s credits for “Best I Ever Had” is not listed in the BMI database yet is because the updates for the song registration takes a while, however, it will be listed over time.

I told Hanna about Drake’s blog and I asked her how did he not know that Kia Shine gets a percent of his record. She tells me:

“Really that comes down to him and his people. If Drake didn’t know then that’s him and his people”.

So now there it is. Kia Shine was subject to some serious twitter hate based on Drakes comments on his blog. Now I wonder if he will become a trending topic for the most uninformed,think I know everything but really don’t know shit rapper from canada with the fake ass hood accent.

Your music is hot but your fact checking is wack. Oh and Trey songs you need to go back and focus on selling R&B records!
