Tuface’s camp released a press statement two days ago,
stating that an upcoming artiste stole his song and yet
tried to use his image (right above) to sell her records.
They threatened to sue her, and wanted bloggers to help
inform the society about the fraudulent act.
But the soft spoken lady, Ewa, after the press statement
went viral through her representative admitted to an
online publication that she stole the song and Tuface
was never in the studio with her. She went ahead to
also reveal that the part were his voice was actually
heard was fixed in by her producer.
Below is the press statement released by them before
the singer admitted her wrong. We are not sure if
Tuface is still pressing charges or not.
“It has been brought to our attention that there is a
song “Crazy Love” being circulated on the internet
which was composed and sang by one Ewa and
purportedly featuring 2Face.
We wish to use this medium to categorically state that
2Face did not feature in any song composed and sang by
any Ewa. The song is an illegal manipulation and super-
imposition on 2Face’s unreleased song titled “Could This
Be Love”. This odious and fraudulent act is not only
condemnable but also an assault to the integrity of the
entertainment industry which thrives on creativity and
hard work.
In particular, the act is an infringement of 2Face right
under the Copyright Act Cap C28, LFN 2004 and we
shall employ the full force of law to enforce the breach
of his reproduction, publishing, performance,
communication rights which have been breached.
TAKE NOTICE that any person who performs or caused
to be performed the said infringing song shall also be
guilty of infringement under the Copyright Act and we
shall not hesitate to bring the full weight of law to bear
on the person”, the statement read.
