    Arriving as a surprise drop, “By You” marks a pivotal moment for the collective. Rooted in themes of loyalty, presence, and reassurance, the record serves as both a reintroduction and a grounding statement of intent.

    Following the release of “99 Problem,” Inestimable has taken a deliberately unconventional approach to how their work is introduced and experienced. “By You” builds on that foundation, not as a departure, but as a moment that brings clarity and emotional weight to the journey so far.

    The single also offers a first glimpse into what lies ahead. It arrives one week before the collective’s forthcoming project, Listening to the Music II, positioning it as a defining entry point into this next phase.

    Bad Bunny and his team have demanded that Mr Eazi’s record label emPawa Africa, cover over $450,000 in legal fees after they defeated a copyright lawsuit filed by emPawa Africa over the Joeboy song “Empty My Pocket”

    Bad Bunny is demanding that Mr Eazi and emPawa Africa pay his legal fees.

    It all started in February 2023 when Mr Eazi called out the Puerto Rican superstar for allegedly including uncredited parts of the Joeboy song which was released under emPawa Africa in his own song “Enséñame a Bailar”

    Mr Eazi called out Bad Bunny over alleged copyright infringement

    In a series of posts shared on LinkedIn and X, Mr Eazi wrote in part: “I’m writing this to highlight Rimas Music and Bad Bunny for the copyright infringement towards Afrobeat superstar Joeboy…”

    The Joeboy song “Empty My Pocket” was allegedly illegally sampled by Bad Bunny.

    Mr Eazi and Empawa Africa had demanded that Bad Bunny and his team credit and restore rights on ”Enséñame a Bailar“ to Joeboy and Dera, the producer of the track.

    According to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone, a judge has now thrown out the lawsuit, citing missed deadlines and failure to continue prosecuting the case by Dera, who filed the lawsuit.

    Bad Bunny and his team are now asking the court to order Mr Eazi and emPawa Africa to cover their legal fees.
