Juju king yet to receive master tapes after winning N500m law suit

The Juju star also revealed that the works which were kept away from him all through the 30 years while the case was pending in court are more valuable than the N500m compensation money.

 

Days after juju maestro, King Sunny Ade, won a N500m lawsuit against African Songs and its subsidiary, Take Your Choice Stores, KSA, he's yet to get the master tapes of his songs.

Speaking with Punch Newspaper, KSA revealed that though he was awarded a whopping N500million as damages, for infringing on his works with additional cost of N3million for prosecuting the suit, he's yet to get the master tapes of his songs even after the court pronouncement.

"...The pain I went through is even shared by my fans because there is a gap between my works between 1966 when I started, to 1974. But now I can bridge that gap even though the master tapes are yet to be returned to me even after the court pronouncement. I hope they will do that quickly. The parties involved have no choice than to honour the court order and I believe they are taking their time before acting," he said.

'Although I won the case and believe in justice, I am more interested in my works than the N500m compensation. I will be happy to have the money but my works are of more value to me,' he dropped.
