Eminem 'Buys' Skepta Single So He Can Release It Himself

Eminem's record label Interscope have acquired the rights to Skepta's new single 'Dare To Dream' so the rapper can release it himself.

The deal came to light after Skepta's version of the song was mysteriously removed from YouTube shortly after it was uploaded earlier this month and replaced with a copyright infringement notice.

It has now emerged that Intercope's Jimmy Lovine was one of the first people to hear the song and offered Skepta's record label money so Eminem could re-record it.

“Just got a f*%king CRAZY email. I don't know if I should be angry or privileged. This explains why the f*%k YouTube took 'Dare To Dream' off,” Skepta wrote on Twitter.

“Jimmy Iovine Interscope heard my new single 'Dare To Dream' and decided he wanted to sign it for Eminem hence Universal takin it off YouTube.

“I overly love the song but at the same time I do understand Eminem together with the 'Dare To Dream' chorus will be absolutely f*%king CRAZY.”

Skepta went on to acknowledge that he worked in an industry where “money talks” and that he was now working on a new single.

It is not known when Eminem's version of the song will be released, reports TaleTela.
