Gospel Singer, Bajowa Threatens Legal Action Against Best Over Alleged Copyright Infringement

 

Veteran gospel singer, Prince Goke Bajowa, has threatened legal action against his colleague, Boye Best over copyright infringement.

While accusing Boye Best of always singing his song ‘Iwo Ko Lodami’ on every live performances and shows without acknowledging him, Bajowa said, “it is both misleading and unfair to present it in a way that suggests ownership or exclusive

rights, especially when you have evidently benefited from its widespread use.”

Speaking in an Instagram video release on Sunday, Bajowa who tagged his outburst as a final warning to Boye Best, also threatened that failure to properly acknowledge him as the original owner will attract legal action.

Bajowa further explained that Boye Best refused to acknowledge him despite an earlier communication.

“This is a final warning to you Boye Best @boyebest you have continued to use my song Iwo Ko Lodami indiscriminately across multiple platforms and events, despite earlier communication making it clear that you do not own the rights to this work.

“While no one has stopped you from performing the song. Let this serve as a clear notice, going forward, you must properly acknowledge the original owner, Goke Bajowa, in every use of the song. Failure to do so will leave no choice but to pursue appropriate actions to protect the integrity and ownership of the work. This matter should not be taken lightly”, the singer said.
