Nigerian music producer Tempoe has obtained an injunction against veteran singer, Asa, hit producer P.Priime, Platoon limited, and RUE 11 limited, to desist from further using and promoting two songs off Asa’s most recent album ‘V.’
The order was instituted over two songs, ‘IDG’ featuring Grammy-winning superstar, Wizkid, and ‘Love Me or Give Me Red Wine.’ Both songs were released as part of Asa’s 12-track fifth studio album, V. It is alleged that Tempoe originally produced the two songs. But when an agreement could not be reached as regards rights and financials around one year ago, Asa allegedly sought out another hitmaker, P-Priime to produce the version of the respective songs, which made the album.
AN ORDER OF INTERIM INJUNCTION restraining the Defendants/ Respondents jointly or severally whether by themselves, their assigns, agents, and servants howsoever from further distributing, offering for sale, performing any of the said musical works titled ‘IDG’ and ‘Love Me or Give Me Red Wine’ in whatever manner pending the determination of the Applicant’s Motion on Notice.
Well, due to the impending Court annual leave, the return date for the hearing of the Motion on Notice is fixed against the 26th day of September, 2022. Asa’s team has made no comments, while Platoon understandably refused to comment on the issue with several News Outlets.
