Singer, Ajibola Olumuyiwa Danladi, aka Danny Young, is presently at war with Tiwa Savage over copyright infringement.

Recall that Tiwa had released a single titled, One, late last year. Shortly after, Danny Young alleged on his Instagram page that she took a line off his 2009 single, Oju ti Won. But Tiwa Savage refused to comment and went ahead to release the visuals of the song.

However, it seems that Danny Young has taken the case to YouTube. Presently, Tiwa Savage’s video has been taking off the video sharing platform.

In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Danny Young said he had left everything in the hands of his lawyers. He said, “I wasn’t the one who contacted YouTube. My lawyers handled the process; I didn’t know how they went about it. You know YouTube knows the right thing to do.”

Young insisted that before it got to this stage, his camp reached out to Tiwa Savage but she ignored them. He said, “She felt we couldn’t do anything. I am sure she and her team know that we have a valid point. We didn’t even ask them for money, but we felt intellectual theft should be taken seriously in this part of the world. This is just the beginning; I plan to see this to the end if she doesn’t reach us for a compromise.”

According to Danny Young, people, who are supporting Tiwa Savage on social media, are ignorant. He added, “When I first raised the issue, I was slammed. They said I was saying rubbish. As a professional, I believe in more action, less talk. For people who understand music, plagiarism and copyright infringement, they will understand my point. I don’t have any business with people on social media as I feel they are ignorant.

“People said she only used the same proverb and that I was not the originator of the proverb. They are not looking at the technicality and professionalism of it all. Is it the same rhythm, coordination and tone? All these are music terms that people don’t understand. If you copy someone’s work, they look at all these.”

While admitting that he loves her music, Danny Young said he has never met Tiwa Savage. “I am a fan just like she might be my fan too. I love her music; she does well and I am in support of anyone doing good music. I also like the music of Yemi Alade and Simi,” he stated.

One of the ways you know your success is killing some failed mofos. It's only failed musicians who shout intellectual properties

You don't need to be a legitimate owner of a song or content for YouTube to remove it. Whenever a studio, lawyer or just about anyone contacts YouTube to report an infringement, they immediately remove the video to recuse themselves from being sued. Danny Young should get over it, sadly all musicians copy from each other at one point or another. There are probably trillions of songs ever sung, the likelihood that one musician will use some parts or sentences of another song is very high.

I remember when he first raised this matter last year. Most ignorant folks here were saying "na hungry dey do this one", " this one want to use Tiwa to trend", etc. Now that it has gotten to this level, I won't be surprised if they still come and say "nice one Danny". Tiwa should better reach a compromise.

A line of sm proverb in her music can not be called intellectual theft to me unless u created that proverb.

Reach which compromise? I am sure her lawyers are preparing to sue his stupid ass right now. When did the words of a Yoruba proverb become his intellectual property? She should deal with him thoroughly to serve as an example to gold diggers

Tammynator:

YouTube normally intellectual removes contents when they are informed that is a subject of legal dispute as a precaution so that they will not be sued. They will put up the video again when they are through with their investigation

Now that youtube has taken it down she go feel am Feel this song from a nairalander. http://www.naijapals.com/music/Searching_for_love_Xpol-89179
