In a significant legal development within the Nigerian music industry, renowned gospel artist Sinach has been sued by music producer Michael Oluwole, popularly known as Maye, over claims of copyright infringement related to her hit song “Way Maker.” The lawsuit, referenced as FHC/L/CS/402/2024, involves a staggering claim of N5 billion, with Maye asserting his rights as a co-author of the popular 2016 track.

Maye’s allegations suggest that he played a vital role in the creation of “Way Maker,” and he seeks a formal declaration of his authorship, along with hefty general damages for what he describes as cumulative infringement of his rights. In response to these claims, Sinach vehemently denies any wrongdoing, emphasizing her status as the sole author of the song and highlighting her prior global recognition in the music industry before the release of “Way Maker.”

The proceedings commenced on November 27, 2024, at the Federal High Court in Lagos and are now adjourned until January 29 and January 30, 2025. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for copyright law and the music industry in Nigeria, as it raises questions about authorship and ownership rights in collaborative creative processes. The music community and fans alike will undoubtedly be watching closely as the case unfolds.

The gathering, held on Saturday, October 17, at the upscale De Toprano Lounge in Ikeja, provided an opportunity for Queen PhinaDon to reconnect with her colleagues and spend quality time with her team.
