Singer, Bukola Elemide, professionally called Asa, has not been in the news for controversies, but this time is made the news for such. She is suing Joseph Akinfenwa, aka Joeboy, for copyright infringement over his recently released song, “Contour.”
Joeboy shared the copyright infringement notice on his Instagram story on Monday, showing that Asa is asking for the sum of N300 million and that Joeboy has 24 hours to remove the songs from all digital streaming platforms.
Asa, through her management, also demanded a 60 per cent publishing split on the song, and a written apology, as seen in the notice.
The notice dated September 30 read in part, ”It has been brought to our attention that your newly released song, Contour (the “Song”), infringes on the copyright of our Client, as recorded/captured in a musical composition (the “Composition”) which she created in a recording session, which took place on 22 September 2020, with the producer of the Song, Alageu Michael Chidozie (p.k.a Tempoe) in attendance.
“We, hereby, demand that you immediately remove the Song from all DSPs and any other platforms within twenty-four (24) hours of your receipt of this letter, with a written apology issued to our Client, as well as halt any additional infringements of our Composition, including any other infringements.”

Joeboy said on his Instagram story in reaction to the suit that people seemed to want to take him for a ride because he was quiet.
He further dared Asa’s management to take legal action and reminded them that the 24 hours notice had elapsed.
He said, “Cos I day always do love and light you think say I be soft meat. You said I have 24 hours, it’s been 48 hours, do something.”
Tempoe also reshared Joeboy’s posts on his Instagram story.
