He specifically mentioned Digital Music and Commerce Exchange Limited (DMCE), the organization he claimed has been receiving the royalties since 2010, and challenged them to step forward.
Trod accompanied his statement with a screenshot showing Dagrin’s songs available on a streaming platform. He expressed his lack of involvement, stating, “I don’t know anything about Grin’s royalties… The person who has been getting paid for 13 years should come out. DMCE, whatever?!”
