The handsome seven footer,popularly known for his
trademark Oligbese for sale told us that Omawunmi lifted some lines from his
song he titled Do Something which is contained in the album he titled Givam
Chance,released sometime in early 2004 and was produced by Nelson Brown for
Progressive Sound Park a Lagos based Recording company.
The Delta State
born Dancehall act said before Omawunmi recorded her song we have met several
times at shows,where I performed my songs in her presence and the only thing she
told me was that she loves my style of song but she never told me that she was planning to lift some lines from
my song titled “Do Something” until in February this year when the label owner
that released my album called me to ask why I allowed Omawunmi to lift some
lines from my song without permission or credit to me and I was surprised.
Even till last week I have been trying to call her but she refused to
pick my calls.
Oligbese further lamented that the line lifted was his
brain child where he sings brother do something,Kpamurege,sister so something
kpamurege
On what he was planning to do next the singer said that he had since consulted his legal
advisers who are now preparing to sue Omawunmi and her Recording company for
copyright infringement.
Oligbese further told us that he is seeking for N50million as compensation
for tampering with his intellectual property rights.

of chambers in the late Gani Fawehinmi law firm is the one handling the case
