I think there's enough money in the music industry to go around.
<span class="html-content"> <p>Do I have the math to back it up? Probably not but there must be a lot of money, with the rate artistes have been suing each other lately over copyright infringement and intellectual property theft. For those people who have been wondering if the law works in the industry, I guess now we know it does.</p> <p>We have seen the biggest names face lawsuits on infringement, up from 2baba, Tiwa Savage and Wizkid, down to the newbies; BadboyTimz and the latest, Joeboy. Yep! Joeboy has just been threatened with a copyright lawsuit, by Asa and she's demanding for #300 million in compensation. Apparently, this is for his new song, "Contour", there was a sample and producer issue. I get the issue but literally everyone aware of the news is in a frenzy about the amount demanded.</p> <p>I can't remember a time where the music industry had such lawsuits flying around consecutively. I mean, even BadboyTimz sued his former record label for libelous publication. I think it's awesome that artistes are taking the value of their craft more seriously but if these monetary demands flying up and down gets serious, it might be a big problem.</p><p>&nbsp;I hope nobody goes dirt digging into Omah Lay's latest album, "Boy Alone" for any copyright problem o. That was and is still a masterpiece and the sure boy just purchased a mansion on Lagos Island for almost half a billion naira. Yep, I don't think that guy is really alone o. 😅</p> </span>
