Would I be breaking the Google TOS if I hide the Google logo in Android Map SDK while showing only OpenStreetMap tiles?

In my app, I'm using GoogleMap class from the Maps SDK for Android to show maps. However, I'm not showing Google's Normal, Hybrid, Satellite or Terrain maps. I'm using that class to show OpenStreeMap tiles using addTileOverlay.

So, since I'm not showing "Google" Maps, would it be illegal or breaking Google TOS if I hide the Google logo?

According to the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service, section 3.2.2(b), you will in fact be breaking terms of service:

"(b) Attribution. Customer will display all attribution that (i) Google provides through the Services (including branding, logos, and copyright and trademark notices); or (ii) is specified in the Maps Service Specific Terms. Customer will not modify, obscure, or delete such attribution."
