Furthermore, the renowned producer discloses that he no longer possesses ownership of his music catalogue; it now belongs to the Stay Low Record Label.
“I’ma talk about what really happened, what actually happened, so and what’s actually going on
So, you’ve got individuals who, who could steal, your publishing with pieces of paper, knowing that, it’s very hard to prove, that, you-you ain’t sign the contract you know You see your signature on a contract you ain’t never seen, you will start believing in magic,” Zoocci said.

“To all my fans, to everybody who’s ever streamed a song by me, anybody who keeps me on repeat, anybody who fights for me in these debates and says I am the best, I am the best producer, I am the best artist, anybody who utters those words in any debate, anybody who plays my music religiously, I apologize for being so stupid, I apologize for, trusting so easy, I apologize, for putting myself in this difficult situation, but it is what it is and you know, I love you, and I will see you soon, hopefully,” he said.
