A Nigerian record label, The Silent Music Company, has alleged that G-worldwide act, Sugarboy stole his latest single ”Kilamity” which features Kiss Daniel, from their artist, Barz.
According to the label, the song was released June 2016 by Barz and it featured Sugarboy. However due to G-worldwide’s strict no features restriction on its artists, Sugarboy didn’t appear in the video which was released in November.
Watch the video for Barz’ version below:
The shady part is the song was produced by the same producer, Luis AMG who produced Sugarboy’s version.
Listen to Sugarboy’s version below:
After this version came out, TSMC took to Instagram to register their disappointment with this act of Sugarboy’s and promised to take legal action.
The post reads:
We at “The Silent Music Company” TSMC, will like the general public to be aware of the injustice brought our way by G worldwide Ent, home record label to Kiss Daniel and Sugarboy.
A song titled ‘kilamiti’ was created by our artist BARZ @iam_barz, produced by LuisAMG @luisamgondeck and had Sugarboy @sugarboygww of G worldwide featured on the song.
We contacted Sugarboy’s management when we wanted to drop the song back in June 2016 and we have chat evidence of sugarboy telling me and I quote “my management get strict policy on featuring. Abi u don see kiss daniel on any song wey dem feature am? but una fit drop the song, i no go fit dey the video sha”
The song was later dropped on all the major blogs in Nigeria, Ghana and UK and promoted on June 11 2016. Most of the radio stations in Nigeria have played this song, the video was also shot by Director Q and dropped November 2016 without sugarboy involved, and the video has been promoted and played on vaious platforms and TV stations.
Today a copyright of our artiste’s song was dropped by Sugarboy feat Kiss Daniel titled ‘Kilamity’ as against “Kilamiti” with the aid of same producer LuisAMG. (We also have prove of online banking transfer showing we paid off the producer for his job done).
We are making this press release because we want the general public to know the injustice which have been done to us and our business.
We definitely will have our lawyer look into this matter and will share with the world on its progress. Thank you for your time.
