queensera:
American singer "The Weeknd" will be suing Nigerian singer "wizkid" and any other artistes that tries to Trademark "Starboy".

According To The Weekend: He wants people to know that he is the real and only "Starboy." And his lawyers are ready to take on any imposters.

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.

According to TMZ, the musician's legal team found Talasazan was up to other shady copyright business. He previously filed to trademark Straight Outta Bombton" and "Runnin' Through the 6." Such details reveal one thing: he's mostly likely in it for the money.

"Starboy" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after spending eight consecutive weeks in the slot for number two, Billboard reports. Additionally, "Starboy" is the Weeknd's third song to reach number one on the chart. It was Daft Punk's first-ever time holding the number one slot on the chart.

It's not about who used it first, it's about who registered it first.

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.

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


THAT IS IF THIS news IS TRUE.

Celense:
Maybe he wants to be relevant....the only starboy that's genuine is wizkid's.

Debhans:


Alaye you’re talking trash. They are not sueing Wizkid for anything. Get ur facts right. The only person being sued is Eymun Talasazan, a realtor. Talasazan filed to trademark "Starboy" and it’s because he is and was using the StarBoy Trademark to do shady business and wanted to trademark the StarBoy name behind The Weeknd.
Una go just dey twist stories and NL no go even confirm or get facts right before them put the matter for FP. Smh�
