Asa Sues Former Music Label For Piracy Attempts by Winnerslfc(m): 5:06am On Feb 24, 2012 |
Trouble often arise when people refuse to keep to the terms of an agreement. This famous and talented Nigerian raggae artist - Bukola Elemide who is popularly known as Asa seems to be tired of *poo* from her former music label Question Mark Records whom she accused of attempting to pirate her music. Hence, she finally decided to drag the music company to court for justice. Ok let's hear from the horse's mouth. "It has come to our attention that a certain Nigerian Chronotech Limited (a CD factory) based in Lagos Nigeria is preparing to go into commercial production of a purported Asa music production titled Down On Me’. The music production was purportedly authorised by Question Mark entertainment in partnership with marketer/ distributor MacKings Limited. We wish to state categorically that Asa was not involved in this production in any form and the artiste's team is very shocked by this misrepresentation from Question Mark entertainment or MacKings Limited, two organisations with which she has no relationship whatsoever. We also take this opportunity to notify individuals and organisations that this production and the associated illegal use of the Asa trademark is a violation of her intellectual property. We have informed our lawyers and appropriate action will be taken against any individual, body or corporate entity associated with this. We thank Nigerian Chronotech for its professionalism in this matter - and for promptly alerting Asa's management to confirm the authenticity of this production, and look forward to this professionalism from other Nigerian music industry stakeholders. Asa continues to work hard on her music, and fans and the public will be promptly informed of any new releases through her management, publicist and other official channels."
