Assures Public of No Financial Gain from Viral Challenge Using “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo”
Comedian Brain Jotter has addressed concerns about profiting from the use of Mike Ejeagha’s 1983 hit song, “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo.” Recent reports from Gistreel highlighted Brain Jotter’s launch of a dance challenge featuring Ejeagha’s song, which has delighted many but also raised questions about copyright and revenue distribution.
The 93-year-old Mike Ejeagha originally wrote the song more than 40 years ago. Despite the viral success of the challenge, Brain Jotter clarified in a statement released on Tuesday that he is not financially benefiting from it.
“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,” Brain Jotter stated.
In a video shared of his visit to the music legend, Brain Jotter explained, “At the end of the day, no dime was made from this song by me, nothing like that.” He further elaborated on how content monetization works on various platforms, ensuring that all revenue generated from the challenge goes directly to Mike Ejeagha’s record label.
“All those music where I did put out there – Instagram, Facebook, YouTube – everything, the whole revenue is going to Mike Ejeagha’s record label, his production company. You cannot even monetize another person’s song because these platforms have copyright violation tools,” he explained.
Brain Jotter emphasized that platforms like YouTube and Facebook automatically direct revenue to the rightful owner. “If I post that video on YouTube, YouTube strikes it for copyright and they give the revenue to the actual owner, which is Mike Ejeagha. If you post it on Facebook, Facebook will tell you outright that this song does not belong to you; it belongs to this person. They take the revenue and give it to the actual owner.”
He concluded by noting the positive impact the challenge has had on the song’s streaming numbers, reaffirming that all related revenues are being directed straight to Mike Ejeagha.
