The source said the problem started when Babes and her recoding company became "greedy" after they heard the song has the potential to be a summer hit and decided they would keep it. "They changed their mind during the listening session and decided that they wanted to keep the song," said the informant. The source added that Kotini is the one who arranged and paid for the studio session and asked Babes for a feature. According to the source in the circle of these artists, this dilly dallying by Babes has messed with DJ Kotini's plans as he wanted to release his album for the festive season.
HE IS FRUSTRATED
