Nigerian pop star, Anidugbe Oluwatobiloba Daniel, popularly known as Kiss Daniel, has been dragged to court by the management of G-Worldwide Entertainment
For allegedly breaching the seven years artiste management deal he signed with the record label in 2013
Kiss Daniel signed a yet to expire 7-year recording and artist management contract with the label in 2013, but has since breached the deal with a series of actions contrary to the provisions of the contract, the Vanguard reports.
Counsel to the label, Mr. Aso Kalu Etea, noted that by appointing a new manager, soliciting for bookings, negotiating and entering performance agreements in respect to songs from his album New Era and his yet to be released album titled Evolution, containing singles such as Yeba, For You, Senorita, Sofa and others, both produced under the contract, including using the stage name Kiss Daniel without seeking the label’s permission, Kiss Daniel has since breached the deal he signed with the label which is why legal actions have been taken against him.
Read the statement
“The general public and the whole world is hereby put on notice that on the 30th day of November 2017, the Federal High Court made an order that status quo ante bellum under the Contract, be maintained by the parties, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed in the suit.
“The import of the Order being that the state under which the parties existed under the Contract should be preserved until the Court makes a determination of the motion on notice filed by the Company.
“All and any dealings in respect of the upload, distribution, and or performance of any of the songs, as well as the use or exploitation of the name ‘Kiss Daniel’ can therefore only be entered or made with the prior written consent and permission of the Company as provided under the Contract.
“The general public and the whole world is further cautioned that as the matter is now before a Court of law (subjudice), and following the Order to maintain status quo, any unauthorized upload, distribution, exploitation, performance, sales, and use of the songs (from the NEW ERA and EVOLUTION albums), or stage name ‘Kiss Daniel’, in any show, event, downloading or streaming platform, will be in violation of the Order of the Federal High Court.
“Anyone who does or continues to do so shall be liable as an accomplice for contempt of court, and the full weight of the law will be brought against that person as a contemnor. Any person or organization who negotiates, or enters into any agreement with Mr Anidugbe to engage him on the basis of his presumed rights over the songs in both albums, or the use of the stage name ‘Kiss Daniel’, does so at his or her own risk and peril.”
