I know many people have refused to read or bother to know what the law says including young lawyers watching 30secs clips of some random white person talking about "yen yen ownership" etc.
Our copyright act is VERYYYYYY clear on who OWNS the sound recordings! She WHO FINANCES OWNS THE MASTERS. IT CAN EITHER BE THE FINANCIER DIRECTLY OR HE COMMISSIONS SOMEONE ON HER BEHALF. EXCEPT there's a contrary agreement.
Please let us all have sense.
Section 108 (1b) Copyright Act Of Nigeria 2022 Defines an Author (owner) Section 28 (1) 28.—"(1) Except as otherwise provided in an agreement, copyright
conferred by this Act, shall initially vest in the author." Of a Sound recording as follows:
"sound recording, means the person by whom the arrangements
for the making of the sound recording were made"
"sound recording” means the fixation of a sequence of sound capable of being perceived aurally and of being reproduced but does not include a
sound track, accompanying or incorporated in an audiovisual work ;"
For us to deviate from the legal provision and enter a realm of exception, there is a COMMERCIAL context of negotiation that is PURELY BASED ON LEVERAGE.
There is no economic context as to why i will give you masters that i am fully funding IF YOU HAVE KNOW PROVEN DATA THAT MY RISK IS MINIMIZED.
We already did an audit from a reputable company ! Surprise Suprise who owes who ?
If e sure for any of you, make we go KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, Templers, Aluko & Oyebode, Olaniwun Ajayi LP, Udo Udoma & Belo-Osagie.
Any top law firm and auditing/accounting firm. Let them run a forensic analysis and interpret both the accounts and the contract for us, and tell you I cheated you?!
Everyone rich enough to buy chains but never wanna pay for audits !!!
No jagbajantis auditing firm, no kiri-kiri moves.
Mr. Elon! The jig is up!!!!!
For our last Scheduled appearance , you didn’t show up nigga. I was there, but you wanna come online and say, “Let’s meet in court”!!! , when you’re the one running from court!!
Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
You claim here that I forged your signature, but in your public statement in 2024, you claimed that you were pushed into a deal with Dvpper Digital.
Which is it???
For the avoidance of doubt, this relationship began in 2021, and it began with me putting money down for your first project before getting any music from you .
So who made who?!!!!
God made me, nigga! Dapper Damm, Son of God!
I have nothing to hide. The records exist. The authorities have them. Let the process establish the truth.
Don’t come online and spill rubbish narratives, & lies, only to mislead the public !
you chose to leave! No one forced you, and we are still fine without you! Move on! Stop acting obsessed!!!!!
I will not demean myself by disrespecting the one thing I stand on, which is my love for music. So I won’t stoop so low as to engage in insults.
So much to say, but so few ways to say it.
You mean all kaduna people had to do for security forces to come to their aid all these years they’ve been slaughtered like animals was to stage a protest ?
