Legendary Nigerian singer, Zaaky Azzay has accused Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie and Mr. Eazi of sampling his hit song “Marry Am”.
Zaaky Azzay released his version in 1996 and Sarkodie dropped his song ‘Na you’re featuring Mr. Eazi which Zaaky Azzay claims samples his lyrics.
He wrote:
“Hello Sarkodie & MrEazi, this is to let you know that my song “Marry Am” has been lifted in your newly released single “Na You”. I released the monster hit way back in 1996, and i want to believe that you guys should know the consequences of copyright infringements.
This is a massive violation of my musical copyright dues and the illegal exploitation of my intellectual property as i haven’t been contacted for permission/approval for the lyrics of my song to be used.
It’s high time African Artistes wake up to know that copyrights violations/infringements is stealing&theft and hence a big crime.
My next next line of actions will be made private for now…. THANK YOU!!!”
