Mostly known for his yearly Jingle Bells remixes, the plan of Tunde
Ednut to stage a comeback after his 2012 “Catching Cold Remix Feat Dr
Sid,” has suffered a major set back as Davido’s producer, Shizzi, is
about to sue him for allegedly stealing from him.
Shizzi’s official statement to address the allegations surrounding
Ednut‘s latest single “Kosowo,” reads: “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.
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.”
