On February 16, a South Florida court had awarded the Naw Sell Out Mi Friend Dem singjay US$763,626 in damages in a counter-suit filed against McGregor, the principal of Streaminn Hub Inc, in a battle involving the singer’s albums Spirit, Walk A Mile, and Dancehall Soca.

Khago is to receive US$300,000 in statutory damages for copyright infringement. He is to also be paid US$99,568.59 in compensatory damages for tortious interference with business relationships; US$298,705.77 in punitive damages for tortious interference with business relationships; and US$65,352.00 in reasonable expenses and attorney’s fees for a total award of US$763,626.36.
