However, speaking on the making of the video by the record label, Guru revealed that details of the contract created some rift between him and his artistes.

He shared that :

We were able to do it for it to succeed. However, when it came into effect, and another person in the group got up to express displeasure in the agreement. It was 50:50 initially but he said I don't deserve it. I should be offered 30. However, I don't even deserve 30, I should be given 20 percent.

When Abeiku Santana asked him whether his label didn't sign any MoU before the shooting of the video, the 'Lapaz Totoya' hitmaker noted that his lawyer drafted a well-detailed contract for both parties.

My lawyer drafted a proper contract. It was about $120,000. Me, personally, I invested about $80 to 90k. This is physical cash. Wutah's first video cost me about $65,000. X-Bills shot that video, and it was shot here in Ghana, in either 2018 or 2019.
