Singer, Wizkid is being sued jointly by Tony Tetuila and Ghanaian musician Tic Tac, over copyright infringement, demanding $82,000 in compensation.

According to the plaintiffs, Wizkid had sampled their song ‘Fefe Ne Efe’ released in 2004 but failed to pay for it.

In an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Tic said Wizkid sampled the chorus of ‘Fefe Ne Efe’ for his verse on DJ Tunez’s song titled ‘Gbese’.

In a writ addressed to the defendant, Tic and Tony Tetuila are seeking damages to the tune of N30,000,000 equivalent to GH?473,379.29 ($82,758.62).

They are also seeking 35% of both digital sales and royalties DJ Tunez and Wizkid received from the song. See the written suit below;

On a serious note, copyright is fraud. Always pay due respect to the original owners of a work.

If this was a serious country that takes intellectual property theft and copyright laws seriously, you'd see that they have a case.

They should sue his ass, you don't use someone's work without permission

Burnaboy is a bigger copycat, many people don't know cos the songs are not recent. Go to samplechief on Instagram. Almost every single song on his african giant album was a mishmash of samples. They described the album as 'sample heavy' when it came out. I'm talking 1song having samples from like 3 different artistes from 3different african countries. Songs from the 60's and 70's dt many don't know abt.
