An Artist named Wisekid has been making N30 million monthly since October 2020 by copying Wizkid's music on Apple Music & Amazon.

He released an album and named it Lasgidi Made, then copied the names of Wizkid's songs & albums. Now he is getting a huge chunk of Wizkid's streams.
He thinks he is piggy-backing
on the other guy's original music
not knowing that he is violating
copyright laws...

Over to WK's legal team.

It's not just the artiste name that's the issue.

He can be sued for "passing off". Especially with the purposeful similarities in the album and single titles. Also, there is a lack of congruence between his popularity and his streaming income upon which an argument can be made that he would never have gotten those streams if not for the trademark violation.

That's quite different. Burna boy obviously wasn't trying to pass off. If you are not familiar with the case law, isn't it better to shut up?

Your first paragraph is meant for you. The wisekid reupload wizkid song on his page, apple , tinder , Amazon

Na only God knows how him take do am, that's a proper yahoo boy work
He cloned the exact songs to his page, no new uploads,
99% of his listeners have even never visited his page, it's only when you check your listening statistic then you will see his name after wizkid.

So this isn't the same as burnaboy and kanye.


Are we clear now

If he’s making that much then the music is good. I don’t see the problem here. I remember trying to buy the movie Pacific Rim on Blu Ray back in the day only to get a straight to DVD trash called Pacific Rift. Na who fall people dey call mugu, guy man no dey ever loss.

he is not finished, the court can only make an order for perpetual injunction restraining him from further passing off except if WizKid can establish a special damage arising from such passing off.

Noted. Establishing special damage might not be so impossible grin

You are the one disgracing yourself, wizkid's song is "Made in Lagos" his own song is "Lasgidi made" , so it's impossible for wizkid to sue him for copyright infringement.
