Nigerian singer, Joeboy, has reacted to a copyright infringement notice served on him by award-winning musician, Asa.
Recall that in August 2022, Joeboy released a single titled “Contour,” which was produced by ace beat maker Tempoe.
A few weeks after the release of the song, the artiste whose real name is Joseph Akinwale Akinfenwa-Donus was served a copyright infringement notice
According to the notice, “Contour” infringed on the copyright of a musical composition which was created by Asa in a recording session which took place on September 22, 2020, with Tempoe in attendance at that said session.
The notice, which was served on September 30th, 2022, demanded that Joeboy removes the song from all digital platforms within twenty-four hours, issue a written apology, pay N300 million, and assign Asa a sixty-percent publishing split.
Reacting to the infringement notice, Joeboy took to his Instagram story, to call Asa’s bluff for giving him 24 hours that had elapsed to 48 hours, and yet she has not done anything.
He wrote, “You said I have 24 hours; it’s been 48 hours already do something”
“cos I they always do love and light, you think say I be soft meat”
