Super-Producer Shizzi has decided to speak on the
copyrights infringement allegation surrounding Tunde
Ednut‘s latest single “ Kosowo ” which dropped yesterday.
Read his official statement below:
“I have read several accounts of the unfortunate incident
regarding the unauthorized appropriation of the
intellectual property rights in the sound recording I had
made sometime in 2014 by Mr. Tunde Ednut.
Contrary to the spin in the media, I never at any point
engaged in any studio session with Mr. Tunde Ednut
regarding the sound recording. The original sound
recording was indeed created by me with Wande Coal
providing freestyle vocals on it and I have attached a link
of the original version in this release.
Kindly note that further to painstaking enquiries, I have
discovered that Masterkraft was not in anyway complicit
in the alleged theft of the IP rights as Mr. Tunde Ednut
with malicious intent omitted to mention to Masterkraft
my ownership rights in the recording.
I have no intention to engage in a public trade of words
with Mr. Tunde Ednut, which is why I had instructed my
lawyers to take the appropriate actions. It is my profound
belief that a workman is deserving of the appropriate
benefits to his works and it is high time we started
according to intellectual property rights, the respect and
regards they duly deserve.
While thanking the media house and blogs that have
supported my brand and have reached out to me since
the news of the IP conversion broke, I urge them to
refrain from posting or reposting the infringing song and
its video thereby engendering the continued criminal
misappropriation of my IP rights pending the outcome of
the law suit to be filed by my lawyers should Mr. Tunde
Ednut and his cohorts not desist from their condemnable
actions.
Thank you for your understanding.
Shizzi.”
