The music industry is so rich with lots of opportunities which has transformed the lives of several talents especially in the Nigerian music industry. The currency of the entertainment is the Intellectual Property which is unique with every talent which can be valued and traded based on perception and negotiation power.
Popular Alternative Artiste, Asa has recently sued another popular singer Joeboy and producer Tempoe for copyright infringement. About 3 months ago, Tempoe had sued Asa and Wizkid for unlawfully exploiting his intellectual property on some tracks in the Asa’s last released album “V“. The case is still ongoing in court and the songs has since been taken down from streaming platforms.
Recently Asa gave a clap back by sueing Tempoe for using her intellectual property through Joeboy’s song “Contour” and this has raised alot of pandemonium on social media;
Meanwhile Joeboy posted on his Instagram story the legal statement from Asa while he gave his response to the allegation;
