2face, latest victim of copyright theft

Apparently, someone is trying way too hard to break into the Nigerian music industry.

A song titled Crazy Love, supposedly by a lady named Ewa, and featuring 2Face, has been circulating online.

According to 960 Music, 2Face’s PR managers, “2Face  did not feature in any song composed and sang by any Ewa”.

They described the song as an illegal manipulation of an unreleased 2Face song titled Could This Be Love.

“It has been brought to our attention that there is a song ‘Crazy Love’ being circulated on the internet, which was composed and sung by one Ewa and purportedly featuring 2Face,” a part of their statement read.

“We wish to use this medium to categorically state that 2Face did not feature in any song composed and sang by any Ewa. The song is an illegal manipulation and super-imposition on 2Face’s unreleased song titled, Could This Be Love. This odious and fraudulent act is not only condemnable but also an assault to the integrity of the entertainment industry, which thrives on creativity and hard work.”

They branded the act “an infringement of 2Face’s right under the Copyright Act Cap C28, LFN 2004″, and threatened to employ the “full force of law” to enforce his reproduction, publishing, performance, communication rights, which have been breached.

They warned that “any person who performs or caused to be performed, the said infringing song, shall also be guilty of infringement under the Copyright Act and we shall not hesitate to bring the full weight of law to bear on the person.”

Well, our African king of pop is clearly angered by the act.
