Veteran Dancehall singer Eek-A-Mouse says he is pleased with the 25 percent share in royalties that will come from Shaggy’s Mi Nuh Know, which interpolated lyrics from his 1981 hit song Wa-Do-Dem.
Update: Shaggy’s representatives have confirmed that Mi Nuh Know was properly cleared through Will Adams with Wise Music, on behalf of Embassy Music (Eek’s publisher) in September 2021, well in advance of the release of Mi Nuh Know on March 18.
Kingston’s gritty Trenchtown ghetto honed a vast number of Jamaica’s musical greats, from the roaring King of Reggae, Bob Marley to the scatting singjay originator, Eek-A-Mouse.
