SINGER Obidiz may face the wrath of the law for ‘derogatorily’ using Mercy Chinwo’s name and image in secular music audio and video.
Obidiz had used the gospel singer’s picture as cover image in a commercial for a song titled ‘Mercy Chinwo’ on February 10, 2023.
Apparently not happy with Obidiz, Chinwo has ordered the singer to take the music audio and video down from all music digital platforms. She said this through her lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi.
“It came to our client’s rude shock that you recently released and published a song titled ‘Mercy Chinwo’ containing disparaging and derogatory lyrics…” part of a letter sent to Obidiz by Olajengbesi said.
“That you take down or cause to be taken down, the song titled ‘Mercy Chinwo’ which you published on be taken down immediately from all music digital platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and any other platform whereby you made such publication.”
“Failure upon which the full machinery of the law will be set in motion against you including approaching the Court of Law to award damages against you to the tune of N2,000,000,000.00 (Two Billion Naira) in favour of our client.”
