Nigerian popular singer and the 30 Billion Gang Boss Davido alongside Small Doctor have been accused of using lyrics without the consent of the original author.

The manager of King Sunny Ade who is identified as Clement Ige has expressed his dissatisfaction towards the action the duo singer did without seeking permission to use KSA lyrics.

Ige has been employed to Sunny Ade for over forty years now and he surely knows what is boss owns.

Speaking at Goldberg’s Ariya Repete Roundtable discourse in Abeokuta, the manager revealed that these young generations are just full of their self.

He said; “They use English language to speak Yoruba. Like the young man who sang ‘makole marale.’ How do you build house before buying a land?” he asked. Many of them don’t give credit to the original composer of the song they adopt. They just sing it without seeking permission. That’s a copyright infringement. It’s not done in developed societies.

Till today, Small Doctor didn’t get our permission before and after singing 'ijó tí m’ojó l’àná, tí wọn n’pariwo, oni nkọ, ola nkọ.' And many of them are guilty of this. The Davido that used Sunny’s lyrics in his song didn’t even get it right and that’s because he didn’t ask for permission.If he did, we would have corrected him. What is ‘Kuluso ewe, agbagba ewe…?' The line is actually ‘Seleru agbo, agbara agbo’. I know because I co-wrote the song!”

It was earlier reported that Davido is not responsible for writing many of his hit track that he only pays to acquire them.

Watch as some will start insulting this man
Copyright laws are mild here if not some artists would have paid heavily for infringement s

We don't expect anything more 4rm our present generation musicians. We celebrate mediocrity.

They are not intelligent enough to write anything so what do you expect.

We're perfectly okay with "ein ein ein... ti gen gen rigen rigen... regen regen regen..."

I spit on dis generation 4 always settling 4 mediocrity at its peak... tueh!

Misleading topic. Should be KSA’S Manager says...

The boys that are most times under the influence of drugs. I am disappointed anyone expects them to make sense. Do they themselves know what they are even saying? I doubt. People buy their beats, not the lyrics. Many in this young generation don't even bother to speak sensibly by the way.

Okay

True!

chai

Davido and small doctor

Where are ur lawyers

What is wrong is wrong. However, baba na baba so he should leave them... Wedding MC

kung of sounds..

He is not far from the truth !


Guess the heartbeat of both of them right now ....

Joromi by victor uwaifo (MON) was stolen without copyright settlement by a new Yoruba singer called SIMI.

Send down the rain by Majek Fashek was infringed upon by Timi Dakolo.

But why is SIMI and TIMI good at stealing other peoples work?

SIMI and TIMI are just namesake in copyright infringement.

These copyright violator just chip in the words stylishly without any altar of respect for the original owner of the works.

I think this act is a kind of advanced piracy.

tell dem, them dont know

You think KSA is like your mediocres, his career has been glowing even before you were born.
