“Respect My Craft!” – Mr Drew Responds Fiercely to DopeNation’s Songwriting Claim

 

Ghanaian musician Mr. Drew has warned DopeNation never to mention his name in interviews, claiming that the duo are denigrating his brand.

This comes after B2 and Twist, the twin brothers, claimed that they co-wrote and produced Mr Drew’s hit song “This Year,” but they were never given credit for their work.

In an interview with Headless YouTuber, DopeNation criticized musicians who neglect to give recognition to people who work behind the scenes for their songs to become popular.

They cited Mr Drew and Sefa as examples of artistes who did not acknowledge their contributions despite helping to write and produce songs for them.

According to the duo, Mr Drew only brought “scribbled words with no actual words for the song” when he came to the studio to record ‘This Year’.

They claimed they had to guide him through their recording process and to bring out a complete song.

“It got to a time, you produce and artistes don’t go to acknowledge you as the producer or even as a co-writer on the song. That is a big deal for us because we are about the work. There are a cluster of artistes who have done some in time. There’s Mr Drew and there’s Sefa; these artistes are people we sat down and write songs and everything in the room.

“They know how we did it but as they went out, they never acknowledged DopeNation… when he got to the studio, he had just scribbled words, he did not have the actual words for the song so we had to take him through our process of recording,” DopeNation said.

Responding to DopeNation, Mr Drew who was not pleased with the twins’ remarks tweeted on July 29, 2025, cautioned the duo not to speak about him again in interviews and accusing them of throwing “tantrums.”

“Yo @GhDopeNation I love what yall do but don’t disrespect me or my brand .. you could have had your interview without mentioning my name .. next time you go interview wey you mention my name you go hear am .. bunch of lame guys throwing tantrums,” Mr Drew wrote.
