Joeboy laughs off Asa’s N300 million copyright claim

Singer Joseph Akinfenwa Donus, popularly known as Joeboy, has finally reacted to the N300m copyright infringement notice slammed on him by his senior colleague Asa.

Asa, 40, accused Joeboy of illegally using her composition on his new song.

In a copyright infringement notice drafted and shared by her legal counsels on September 30, Asa accused Joeboy of using her musical composition on his new song “Contour” without her permission.

In the suit, Asa claimed that she had created the composition on 22, September 2020 during a recording session with Tempoe, the producer of ‘Contour’.

The ‘Fire on the Mountain’ singer demanded that the song be removed from all digital platforms within 24 hours and also asked that the sum of 300,000,000 naira be paid alongside a 60% publishing split on the song.

Reacting to the suit which he shared on on Instagram, Joeboy simply laughed it off.

He captioned the post: “LOL (Laughing Out Loud)”.

“You said I have 24 hours; it’s been 48 hours already do something. Cos I they always do love and light, you think say I be soft meat,” the 25-year-old added.
