2Face Idibia did not feature in a new song composed and sang by any Ewa,
but the new song 'Crazy Love', has been circulated on the internet and
reports reveal that it was illegally manipulated
Award-winning Nigerian singer, 2face Idibia, is a victim of copyright infringement. This revelation has been made known by his legal representatives, 960 Music, after a new song - 'Crazy Love By Ewa' - which circulated the internet had Idibia's name as a featured act.
960
Music in a press statement has stated that 2face 'did not feature in
any song composed and sang by any Ewa', and went further to note that
the new song is an illegal manipulation of an unreleased 2face song
titled, 'Could This Be Love'.
960 Music considers
this as an infringement of 2face rights, in the national copyright
laws, and will seek redress via legal channels.
'It
has been brought to our attention that there is a song “Crazy Love”
being circulated on the internet which was composed and sang by one Ewa
and purportedly featuring 2Face.
We wish to use this
medium to categorically state that 2Face did not feature in any song
composed and sang by any Ewa. The song is an illegal manipulation and
super-imposition on 2Face’s unreleased song
titled “Could This Be Love”. This odious and fraudulent act is not only
condemnable but also an assault to the integrity of the entertainment
industry which thrives on creativity and hard work.
In
particular, the act is an infringement of 2Face right under the
Copyright Act Cap C28, LFN 2004 and we shall employ the full force of
law to enforce the breach of his reproduction, publishing, performance,
communication rights which have been breached.
TAKE NOTICE
that any person who performs or caused to be performed the said
infringing song shall also be guilty of infringement under the Copyright
Act and we shall not hesitate to bring the full weight of law to bear
on the person.
For further information/inquiry, you may contact the undersigned via email at legal@960music.com, or pr@960music.com '
Thank you.
Yours Faithfully,
THE 960 MUSIC PR TEAM
