Singer Ewa Cole Allegedly Sues JJC Skillz And Funke Akindele For Copyright Violations And Is Seeking N300M

The Nigerian singer Ewaoluwa Olatunji, better known by her stage name Ewa Cole, has sued music executive Abdulrasheed “JJC Skillz” and filmmaker Funke Akindele for allegedly violating her song rights in the SceneOne Entertainment-produced movie “She Must Be Obeyed,” which Akindele and JJC Skillz co-directed.

Prime Video offered streaming access to the series, which starred Nancy Isime, Abdulateef Adedimeji, Akah Nnani, Veeiye, Waje, Patience Ozokwo, Rachael Okonkwo, and Mike Ezuronye. Ewa Cole asserted ownership of the songs “Opoor” and “Bhad Garl,” which were used in the series without her consent, through her attorney Adewale Williams.

Ewa Cole claims that Waje and Veeiye copied “Bhad Gyal” and “Opoor” after Topage, the song producer, told her they were rejected. She argued that the songs’ unapproved use and lack of attribution to her constituted copyright infringement. In addition, Ewa Cole is requesting N300 million in damages for what she claims to be labor infringement.
