Musician, Kuami Eugene has been sued by Nigerian artiste, Oduma Essan for song theft.
According to a report by mynewsgh, Oduma Essan claims that he released his song with the same title, “Show Body”, on July 17, 2020. Which was months before Kuami Eugene’s song. And according to Oduma Essan, there are some lyrical similarities between the two songs, which he believes were lifted from the original song (his song).
He demanded a compensation of Ghc120,000 for plagiarism.
However, Lynx Entertain CEO, Richie Mensah in an interview with Joy News slammed the media for reporting the story which he claimed was ‘bogus’ and a bad publicity for Eugene.
Kuami Eugene keeps getting attacks regularly because they have come to see that when you attack him, you make news. All you have to do is say ‘this and get attention. Because the media houses keep publishing some of these things. But trust me, if the media houses stop paying attention to the ‘rubbish stories’. They will stop bringing the rubbish stories,” Richie Mensah said.
He continued: “Anybody who listens to the two songs will see that there are no similarities whatsoever. The only thing that is similar about the two songs is the title.”
