2Face Idibia’s Management and the Trending Illegal Song

Got this story from Bella Naija. According to BN, 2Face Idibia’s management – 960 Music, is saying that another artist is claiming to have featured 2Face on one of her tracts, “Crazy Love.” Read the full story below:

BN Music got an official statement from 2Face Idibia‘s management – 960 Music, on a song titled “Crazy Love“.

The track released a few days ago is by a rising singer Ewa, who claims she featured 2Baba.

Although we can hear 2Face’s voice in the beginning and middle the song, his team states Ewa somehow got hold of a yet-to-be released song – Could This Be Love by the Nigerian music star, mixed her own part into it and renamed it.

They plan legal actions.

NOTICE OF 2FACE COPYRIGHT IN THE SONG “CRAZY LOVE” AND WARNING AGAINST POTENTIAL INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT

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.

Thank you.

Yours Faithfully,

THE 960 MUSIC PR TEAM

If this is true, its really unprofessional and has to be condemned in the strongest possible term. It reminds me of an advert done by TARGET cigarettes many years ago using Fela's voice but Fela claimed never to have done any adverts for them. Superimposition of Fela's voice was later identified as the method used for the advert.
