Kizz Daniel's former label, G-Worldwide, recently released a public statement saying that the Sofa singer has no right to his new name 'Kizz Daniel' and also stating that the label also owns the new name. See statement below:
The Management of G-Worldwide Entertainment wishes to inform the
general public that the matter of G-Worldwide Entertainment Ltd v
Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe before the Federal High Court, Lagos
Division, is still ongoing contrary to the fake news being peddled by the
artiste and his advisers to mislead the public. Following several requests and
enquiries by Nigerian and foreign online media and entertainment outfits about
the status of the matter, it has become needful to notify the public of the
current state of facts.
The suit at the Federal High Court last came up on 16th May
2018 whereupon our lawyers informed the Judge of a pending application for
status quo to further restrain the rebellious acts of the artiste in view of
the recent release of previously unreleased songs from the Evolution album,
as well as the continued use of the name Kiss Daniel without our
approval. The Judge emphatically told the Kiss’ lawyers to explore
a settlement of the dispute as he does not believe the matter is one which
should go to trial and that the lawyers should report on any settlement at the
next adjourned date, 26th June 2018. We are unaware at the time
of this release that the lawyers to Kiss have submitted any proposal with terms
of settlement to our legal team.
It also interesting to inform the public that the Court was
informed about the artiste’s release of the new song titled 4 Dayz,
and For you a collaborated with WizKid , which are
songs from the Evolution album, the ownership of
which forms the subject matter of the suit at Federal High Court. We therefore
need to let the public know that these releases demonstrate that the artiste is
on a trip to put the credibility of other artistes whom he collaborates with in
question.
We are also aware that the artiste has released the video
of 4 Days, done a collaboration with Sheyi Shay
titled Surrender, and another song Me ke with
Omawunmi by changing his name from ‘’Kiss Daniel’’ to ‘‘Kizz Daniel’’. Let the
whole world also take note that G-Worldwide is also the owner of the name ‘‘Kizz
Daniel’’.
All digital platforms have been put on notice for take down of
infringing materials where the name Kizz Daniel is in use, and we have
responded to foreign and local media outfits on this issue following calls for
clarification. We also wish to formally inform the public that the artiste’s
use of the names Kiss Daniel and Kizz Daniel amount
to breach of the company’s intellectual property rights. The company further
advises the general public and other artistes to desist from engaging the
artiste in respect of the names and contact the company’s management to confirm
any information or proposal from the artist or his advisers which we believe
are calculated to deceive.
We shall also not hesitate to take appropriate legal action to
obtain judicial redress where necessary for such infringements.
Thank you.
