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."
