Pa Monday Igbinidu, a veteran Edo artist, has launched a N200 million lawsuit against Shallopopi for allegedly unlawful sampling of his song “Obapluto” (N’ogbaisi).
This comes after he accused Shallipopi and his mother of deceiving him and tipping him N50,000 after the song had already been recorded and published.
Shallopopi has been given a week to make the necessary preparations, including mentioning Pa Monday in the song. This was stated in the lawsuit notice, which was captioned “Copyright infringement of Monday Edosomwan Igbinidu alias Monday Edo Igbinidu- Demand for account, compensation, and an apology.”
If this is not done, Pa Monday Igbinidu’s legal team would proceed with the N200m lawsuit.
