INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY! YouTube takes down Tiwa Savage’s ‘One’ video over Danny Young’s copyright claims
YouTube has taken down Tiwa Savage’s song, titled “One” which was released in November 2018, over copyright claims.
It was learnt that Afropop singer, Danny Young, had alleged that the Savage lifted the lyrics of his song for her single.
The “Oju Ti Ti Won” crooner had threatened to file an intellectual copyright suit against Savage.
It was discovered on Wednesday that the video for ‘One’ is no longer available on the YouTube page of Savage.
A message which read; “Tiwa Savage One is no longer available due to a copyright claim by a third party.” had replaced the video.
Speaking about his copyright claims, Young in a video on his Instagram page said, unfortunately, Tiwa Savage is one of his favourite female artiste.
“I never knew I would be a victim of intellectual property theft until now.
“The worst pain is that my song was stolen by Tiwa savage who happens to be one of my favorite female artiste.”
He also confirmed to NET that he filed the complaint against the singer.
“When I heard her song last year, my lawyers reached out to her lawyers but they ignored us. They thought it was just one small boy talking.
“Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for Tiwa Savage and I respect her craft as well, but you see, two brothers can have a case in court and still have a good relationship with each other.
“Tiwa and every other singer out there is a role model, so we must not continue to operate in an industry that has no structure.
“I am just trying to do the right thing and trying to prove that copyright issues must be taken seriously especially in the Nigerian entertainment industry,”Young said.
Following the release of ‘One’, Savage had publicly thanked Wale Turner for “blessing” her with the song.
