In an attempt to set the record straight, Dj Mac has seemingly responded to Teejay’s accusations of trying to claim ownership of the summer hit record “Drift“.

The music producer and disc jockey appeared on the “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, hosted by Ypree Chevi & Jaii Frais which has disappeared from social media but not before many recorded snippets.

During the now deleted podcast, Dj Mac explained that while he was not the composer of the beat or lyrics, he played a critical role in promoting the song to the success it has now gained.

Mac says he actively worked to ensure the song reached a wide audience by personally reaching out to DJs and even going out at night to ensure it is played.

He expressed that he invested his resources into the project, including paying for the song, assisting with TikTok influencers, and general promotion of the song.

Mac says he is not seeking ownership of the song but wants recognition and the appropriate financial compensation for his contributions.

However, Teejay previously mentioned that he has credited Mac as a producer on Drift. (see previous article)

Dj Mac also spoke of the intentional transformation of “Drift” into a compilation [juggling] featuring other talents and that Teejay allegedly only wanted his song to be the focus.

However, he maintains that his intention is not to take away from Teejay’s spotlight but to showcase other talents as well as his own.

It has been rumoured that the owners of the “Let’s Be Honest” podcast were asked to remove the episode featuring Dj Mac speaking on the “Drift” matter.

However, this has not been confirmed.
