Nigerian artist Blackface has served his colleagues and compatriots Wizkid and Banky W legal papers, claiming the pair have infringed on his copyright.

Wizkid has been accused of infringing on Blackface’s copyright.
This comes after months of Blackface accusing several artists including 2Baba and Wizkid for taking credit for songs belonging to him. Perhaps the most popular of these songs is the hit love song ‘African Queen’.

2Baba and his manager Efe Omorogbe have spoken about the conditions surrounding that song’s production, claiming to have paid Blackface for his contribution to the album.

2Baba and Blackface were members of the trio Plantashun Boiz before its members went solo. Plans to sue Blackface for his comments appear to be on hold since Omorogbe went public with his client’s intentions last year.

The song now under contention is ‘Slow Whine’, a non-single track from Wizkid’s debut album Superstar. At the time of the album’s release, the pop act was under Banky W’s EME record label. The album launched Wizkid into prominence and featured such acts as Wande Coal and Banky W. Wizkid is now under his own record label Starboy, as well as Sony Music.

Blackface has maintained his position on ownership of these songs even as he has repeatedly attracted derision for his claims in the media.

“I have remained quiet while my name has been dragged in the mud the past few years,” he posted along with a shot of a legal paper. “Some of Nigeria’s biggest artists have infringed on my copyrights but I always restricted myself to speaking out against this in the media.

“Maybe because I always felt that music is an art and not really a business where you bring in lawyers and all that. That’s why I couldn’t believe when I was sued for N50m [$140 000] by the same people who stole my intellectual property. I have nothing personal against Wizkid and Banky. In fact, I can say I groove to both their music, but the fact is that they stole my song in 2011 and there’s clear evidence to prove it. We’ll allow the court to decide.”

Wizkid and Banky W are yet to respond to Blackface’s claims.

Singer and former Remedies member, Anthony Olanrewaju Awotoye better known as Tony Tetuila, and Ghanaian counterpart, Tic Tac have sued Nowo singer, Wizkid over copyright infringement of their 2004 hit song, Fefe N’efe, as his single Gbese has some content from the hit song.

The lawsuit was confirmed in a screenshot of the You Hit My Car fame statement on Twitter, which was published by Instablog 9ja. However, the tweet seems to have been deleted when Tetuila’s twitter page was checked to confirm the statement.

“I just want to clear the air as I am hearing things coming Ghana. Yes, it is true that myself and Tic from Ghana (formerly known as Tic Tac) are both suing Wizkid and DJ Tunez at the Nigerian Federal High Court for violating our intellectual property rights from our song Fefe N’ efe. Our lawyers have advised us not to say more than that. Thank you. Tony Tetuila,” Tweet read

Wizkid Also got his share !

Practically unknown, until the spotlight shined on him for stealing the creative work of one of Nigeria’s most loved artists; Hosea Yohanna – a self-declared upcoming artiste also known as Wisekid – got social media febrile with conversations.

A Twitter handle @AfricaFactsZone had shared the story of an impersonator, Wisekid, who was profiting off Wizkid’s successful ‘Made in Lagos’ album, after uploading a track-by-track clone of the album on streaming platforms.

Wisekid, in what could be mistaken as genius, transformed the album title from Made in Lagos to ‘Lasgidi Made’, rearranging the order of the tracks on the album.

Listening to the tracks on both albums, it isn’t hard to recognise the full cloning of the tracks: beats and lyrics stay the same; the only differences are the names of the artists and the order in which the songs appear.

Platforms such as Apple Music, Amazon, and Tidal became hosting grounds for the Lasgidi Made album. Going undetected and exploiting the fallible systems to the fullest, Wisekid earned a whopping N30 million monthly, according to Africa Facts Zone.

Following the whistleblowing, Wisekid stepped out in defence of himself, denying ever duplicating Wizkid’s album, after posting a tweet – as captured by a Twitter user – displaying the success of his plagiarised work in form of streaming figures, and captioning it “On God”.
