Brain Jotter denies making profit from Mike Ejeagha’s ‘Gwo Gwo Ngwo’ song
Comedian Brain Jotter has addressed concerns that he has made a profit from using Mike Ejeagha’s 1983 hit song, “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo,”.
It is noteworthy that the 93-year-old man superstar wrote the tune more than 40 years ago.
Nonetheless, Brain Jotter’s recent use of it has captured the attention of social media platforms, posing questions about copyright and revenue distribution.

Brain Jotter underlined, however, in a statement released on Tuesday, that he is not profiting financially from the viral challenge.
He said: “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.”
Sharing a video of his visit to the music legend, Brain Jotter explained, saying, “At the end of the day, no dime was made from this song by me, nothing like that.”
He further explained the mechanics of content monetization on various platforms.
Brain Jotter added: “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. 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.
“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.”
