Since he shared the post Thursday, February 9, it caused a division among social media users.
Some commentators have dubbed his opinion as selfish and inconsiderate due to his attempt to reap what he never sowed.
Others are of the opinion that the idea isn’t far-fetched as music videos contribute to a song’s success hence it’s fair for the video director to share in the royalty.
