Chukwuebuka Amuzie, known as Brain Jotter, has addressed concerns regarding the viral dance challenge featuring Mike Ejeagha’s 1983 hit “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo.” The 41-year-old song by the 93-year-old folklore legend has surged on social media, raising questions about revenue distribution and copyright.
In response, Brain Jotter clarified that he is not profiting from the viral trend. “For those who think we ripped him off or we’re making money from this whole thing, I understand your concerns,” Brain Jotter said in a video posted on Tuesday after visiting the music legend. “At the end of the day, no dime was made from this song by me.”

Brain Jotter explained that all revenue from the viral content on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube goes directly to Mike Ejeagha’s record label. He emphasized that these platforms have copyright tools ensuring that revenue from copyrighted content is directed 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.”
