Chukwuebuka Amuzie, also known as Brain Jotter, a popular Nigerian comedian and skitmaker, has addressed the swirling concerns about the potential exploitation of Mike Ejeagha’s 1983 hit “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo,” a classic that recently received renewed attention through a viral dance challenge he initiated.
In a raw-emotional video, Brain Jotter described his emotional visit to the home of iconic highlife musician Mike ‘Gentleman’ Ejeagha. The touching video shows the renowned singer overwhelmed with emotion and shedding tears of joy as Brain Jotter and his entourage pay tribute to his temiless song.
In response to the conjecture and responses that have surrounded the dancing challenge, Brain Jotter provided a detailed account of the visit. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to individuals who raised concerns about the potential exploitation of Ejeagha’s song.
The Skitmaker vehemently stated that he understands and values their legitimate concerns, underlining their rightful desire for Ejeagha to be recognized and compensated for his decades of musical excellence.
He made it very clear that, in the grand scheme of things, he received no monetary benefit from the song.
“For those who think we ripped him off or we’re making money from this whole thing, I understand your concerns and they are very valid. I appreciate the fact that you want him to get value for his hard work, which is very valid, and I want you to understand that you are doing something good
“At the end of the day, no dime was made from this song by me, nothing like that.”
Brain Jotter highlighted a positive outcome of the viral challenge, stating, “The song increased its streams on streaming platforms massively, and there’s no way I can put the song on streaming platforms. So everything, all revenues, are going straight to Mike Ejeagha.”
He also revealed that he gave Ejeagha two million naira, stating, “The two million I gave him was from my pocket. My hard-earned money is just for humanity and not for profit. This whole thing is not for profit.”
The comedian expressed sincere gratitude for the immense delight and excitement that the challenge has brought.
