That's how you people will be posting cooked up stuff,wizkid record label Starboy is registered in Nigeria, weekend is only after a guy trying to key into the popularity of his starboy track in the US,that has nothing to do with wizkid,the weekends record label is not even named starboy in the first place so he is even wasting time suing the guy that tried to starboy as a business name in the US.

I knew that imposter would think he owns the trademark when I heard his song last year. Wizkid have registered his label long before he ever start singing. Weekend better go to sleep. angry

lipsrsealed I THOUGHT WIZKID OWNED THE STARBOY TRADEMARK FIRST, THE WEEKEND SHOULD JUST TAKE A CHILL PILL AND SHUT THE HELL UP...

Those saying they don't know who The Weeknd is.. Man, do you even know music?
Abel is the best male singer alive.. I'm proudly #XO

Wizkid has been 'claiming' to be the starboy for long, but Abel has officially acquired the trademark. Wizkid never did.. That's money talking!

And he's even partnered with Marvel for a starboy comic series coming soon.

Keep on winning awards and topping charts Abel!

TMZ also reports that the Canadian singer's lawyers filed documentation against Eymun Talasazan, a realtor. Talasazan filed to trademark "Starboy" for his own creative projects long after the Weekend's album and hit song of the same name..

This has nothing to do with wikzid. Bloggers just included his name for traffic

You are very wrong! angry

His argument is that since he has a song titled "Starboy", he owns the name! angry

There's a record label called "Starboy Entertainment". Wizkid owns it! angry It has been up for at least 5 years! angry

When did the goat release his trash? angry Less than 3 years ago! angry

He's a loser! angry Let him go to court and fool himself! angry

He hasn't trademarked it! angry

I think it's a matter of who got the name "Starboy" trademarked first.
A registered record label is not registered abi.
Good for Wizkid Sha.
Free publicity plus an easy victory.

The weekend sold millions of albums, Wizkid sold 25,000 copies of his album.

Wizkid is irrelevant in the global music scene apart from Africans both in the continent and diaspora.

This guy is so fvcking clueless! angry

He's not even on the line for the name sef! angry

His logic is so stupid because so many people have used "Starboy" before him, including Wizkid! angry

No let emotional Nigerians swamp you ohh.

when I want to listen to some "good boy" music, SAM SMITH is my man.

however, when you're in your BAD MAN mood, you definitely need some talented sh!t. in other words, some Abel Tesfaye.

The opening beat alone before the weeknd starts singing in the starboy track would Make the judges rule in his favour. As soon as he's Finnish the first verse, the judges will probably be the one to sue anybody who's trying to contaminate the Starboy brand! grin
