Read my post you quoted again.


That's what I'm saying.

So because The Weeknd is a bigger artist in the USA,he should get everything he wants.

WizKid has a record label registered as StarBoy Entertainment and he has been calling himself StarBoy for more than 4 years now. Other than the Weeknd releasing a track called StarBoy in 2016 and calling himself StarBoy since then,what other claim does he have to the StarBoy name?

ERORR404:
is the weeknd maad? before his starboy album,who knew him as starboy? wizkid has been using the name since leaving EME in like 2012 or there about, and the weeknd's starboy that was just in 2016 here he's claiming ownership of the name? e be like say he lost his sense when he cut that his tree looking dada

the question is who filed legal papers to trademark the name? Weeknd did

Even if wizzy has been using it since, he should have filed for a trademark since he's a big deal and can make money out of the name. Just like Chinua Achebe filed for all his books titles and other things he thought are needful, that was why he didn't allow 50 cent use 'things fall apart' as a movie title.


Weeknd may not be the starboy to you, but he's gotten trademarks and there can't be two starboys that can be officially recognised.

Wizkid was the first to use Starboy but the Weekend patented the name first.. Wizkid in d news again.

mvem:
...and his song was no 1 on billboard for more than 2 months...go sidon

Yeah, even "One Corner" would have topped their Billboard if the singer was from or based in North America!

No, Weeknd didn't!

The guy he's suing did.

After the guy he's suing did, another guy did!

That guy is a fool!

He never filed shìt!

Many people don't even know the weekend

#xo

Newboss:
Actually this guy is a big fool!

The guy he's taking to court is actually the first in line for the name at the moment at the trademark organization, followed by another comic book guy.

This guy is so fvcking clueless!

He's not even on the line for the name sef!

His logic is so stupid because so many people have used "Starboy" before him, including Wizkid!

OLODO!

I don't know, but am I the only one here who is irritated anytime someone tries to make a point and, instead, end up littering the whole cyberspace with insults?

what's up with the name calling? All the insults you aimed there doesn't make your points any clearer.

Besides, I'm surprise you think your 5 minutes of research would be enough to negate the claim put forward by professionals advising these Artistes.

you give you and your 5 minutes of research TOO MUCH CREDIT BRO.

WITH RESPECT!

wizkid is irrelevant on the global scene.

His record only makes sense to the African music scene. This will play against him.

GloriaNinja:
I THOUGHT WIZKID OWNED THE STARBOY TRADEMARK FIRST, THE WEEKEND SHOULD JUST TAKE A CHILL PILL AND SHUT THE HELL UP...


THAT IS IF THIS news IS TRUE.

Complex don't carry fake news

weeknd should wait till month end.....before he sues somebody..... ódè.

The Weekend, dat igbo wey you dey smoke dey deceive you oo!
The real starboy go win you hands down if you try sue am.





Just enter your studio, smoke small weed and try record something.

I repeat, the guy is an absolute fool!

His advisers are absolutely ignorant human beings!

REASON:

You didn't even advise the goat to apply for a trademark, you advised him to go and fight anyone who applies for a trademark that is not yours, and that was NEVER yours! What sort of dumb advice is that?


Here is another reason:

They are contesting that the guy who applied for the trademark wants to use to make money!

He has not even applied for the said trademark!

Wizkid should just join the queue before the fool does!
Of course Wizkid can't because he's in Africa! Ojuelegba, I guess!

All this rant won't change anything, as long as Wizkid did not trademark the name legally, if The Weeknd does, he has no legal right to use the name. It's Wizkid's lack of foresight that's to blame not The Weeknd.

VampireeM:
I just love the weeknd and his lyrics. Dude is so talented! His recent EP "Melancholy" esp "Call out my name" is bomb
He is the only starboy any other is counterfeit, the naija druggie impostor should take note

Asked me if I do this every day, I said "Often"
Asked how many times she rode the wave, "Not so often"

ba7man:

So what is your point exactly?

How does that affect the issue of the 'Starboy' name?

geezynoni:
It's not about who used it first, it's about who registered it first.

Thank you, if only Wizkid had a solid legal adviser.

Newboss:
You are very wrong!

His argument is that since he has a song titled "Starboy", he owns the name!

There's a record label called "Starboy Entertainment". Wizkid owns it! It has been up for at least 5 years!

When did the goat release his trash? Less than 3 years ago!

He's a loser! Let him go to court and fool himself!

He hasn't trademarked it!

Goat? Loser? lool.

Guy are you frustrated or what

You can call him whatever but he's richer than any celebrity in Nigeria.

And after reading again I think this whole story is even cooked up.. The person he's suing is not Wizkid, I doubt he even knows Wizkid..
But if he's acquired the trademark for any particular context then he has the right to sue anyone who tries to copy, at his disadvantage.

Dumb ass didn't you see the Starboy comic in the very picture you posted?

The Weeknd owns the starboy comic in partnership with Marvel™

ba7man:
The weekend sold millions of albums, Wizkid sold 25,000 copies of his album.

Wizkid is irrelevant in the global music scene apart from Africans both in the continent and diaspora.

but who is richer

jelel6:


No let emotional Nigerians swamp you ohh.

when I want to listen to some "good boy" music, SAM SMITH is my man.

however, when you're in your BAD MAN mood, you definitely need some talented sh!t. in other words, some Abel Tesfaye.

The opening beat alone before the weeknd starts singing in the starboy track would Make the judges rule in his favour. As soon as he's Finnish the first verse, the judges will probably be the one to sue anybody who's trying to contaminate the Starboy brand!

Yeah I also fw Sam Smith. I love his last album (the song 'No Peace' in particular)
But Abel is my Number 1.
I have over 100 of his songs on my device.

You come out as an absolute fool!

Didn't you read the details?

Didn't you see the name of the guy he's suing on that second picture?

Didn't you see that he's the one who applied for the trademark?

Pass the weed man

�between him and wizkid who is older? agbaya like him dey drag with a boy. he better stay in the weekend and not over step the weekdays.... ode� �

It's not Wizkid!

The list is on that first picture!

He didn't apply for it!

He doesn't own it!

He's definitely losing!

Gangster1ms:
Ahn ahn! See me see wahala o! Wizkid that has been starboy since time immemorial before this guy sprung up early last year to claim it. I respect weeknd & i actually love his music more than wizkid's own ut this nonsense he is about to pull off is gonna make me loose that respect .

haha who's loosing the respect? you or him

geezynoni:
It's not about who used it first, it's about who registered it first.

u r sound.

I will fight for my boy wizkid ooo, Na em dey give me better gbedun way I dey take sanko nobi all this hummingbird with their ogbanje beats.

Story.

Celense:
Maybe he wants to be relevant....the only starboy that's genuine is wizkid's.

Actually, it's Wizkid that's irrelevant compared to The Weeknd. Has Wizkid even had a gold album? The Weeknd sells multi-million copies of his albums.

arixsto2:
�between him and wizkid who is older? agbaya like him dey drag with a boy. he better stay in the weekend and not over step the weekdays.... ode� �

They are actually the same age. Just that the Weeknd is way more successful.

In any case, no one has mentioned Wizkid here other than the fake Nigerian blogger.
