The record label filed a copyright infringement suit against Bella Shmurda.
According to Pulse.ng, the record Label claims that the singer has, contrary to the provisions of the contract, been engaging in the release, publication, distribution, and promotion of songs and videos, among others, without the consent and authorization of the Label.
The singer has even gone as far as announcing that he has been signed onto another record label, Dangbana Republik, while his contract with One Word Global Records Limited still subsists. He is also said to have been engaging in collaborations with other artistes without the consent of the record label.
The Label also noted that Bella Shmurda failed to remit the royalties accruing from the exploitation of the songs released under the label.
The Label is currently seeking a court order to restrain the Singer from laying claim to the name and performing the musical works released under or in connection with the name. The Label also seeks the sum of N200 million damages for the Singer’s breach of the Contract.
