Music producer Michael Oluwole, better known as Maye has sued popular gospel musician, Sinach over alleged copyright infringement.
The music producer asked the court to mandate Sinach to pay him the sum of N5 billion over ‘Way Maker’, her 2016 hit song.
Maye prayed the court to declare that he is an author and co-owner of the song.
In the suit numbered FHC/L/CS/402/2024, the producer demanded general damages of N5 billion for cumulative infringement of his rights.
While denying the producer’s claims, Sinach, who claimed the sole authorship of the song, noted that she has achieved global recognition before ‘Way Maker’ song .
The trial, which began at the
Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday November 27, 2024, was adjourned until January 29 and 30, 2025.
