battle between two Nigeria's
music artistes, award winning
hip-hop star, D'banj and Kelly
Hansome over alleged copyright
infringement.
A statement from Mo' Hits
Record (D'banj's music label)
media Company, Media Image
Managers revealed that the duo
would be heading to the court
room soon if all efforts to make
Kelly Hansome to withdraw the
new song, a remix of D'banj's I'm
Feeling Good, which Hansome
had released on the Internet,
fail.
Mo' Hits alleged that the D'banj's
song, I'm Feeling Good, was
leaked in the process of
recording and it finally found it's
way into Kelly Hansome's hands
who quickly did a 'remix'. "It
shows how slippery the nation's
entertainment sector is," the
star's publicist said in the
statement.
The statement read: "Do take
notice that Mo'Hits Records
Limited is the lawful owner of
rights to the recorded material
(I'm Feeling Good) being touted
by one Kelechi Obinna Orji a.k.a.
Kelly Hansome or persons acting
for him.
Mo'Hits Records Limited has not
granted the said rights to Mr.
Hansome or to anyone else. Mr.
Hansome's possession and
offering of the material at issue
is unauthorized, unjustified,
inexcusable and downright
illegal; the subject of current civil
and criminal proceedings."
Mo' Hits advised anyone not to
"publish, offer, play, copy, post
or howsoever treat with the said
material if or when it is offered
to you."
Hansome through his lawyer
had denied any wrong doing. "If
that position does not change,
Mo' Hits will be left with no
choice than to seek redress in
the law court but in the
intermission, any third party
that does not want to be
dragged into this litigation
should desist from promoting
the work in any form," the
statement warned.
