2Face Idibia did not feature in a new song composed and sang by any Ewa, but the new song ‘Crazy Love’, has been circulated on the internet and reports reveal that it was illegally manipulated……



Award-winning Nigerian singer, 2face Idibia, is a victim of copyright infringement. This revelation has been made known by his legal representatives, 960 Music, after a new song – ‘Crazy Love By Ewa’ – which circulated the internet had Idibia’s name as a featured act.
960 Music in a press statement has stated that 2face ‘did not feature in any song composed and sang by any Ewa‘, and went further to note that the new song is an illegal manipulation of an unreleased 2face song titled, ‘Could This Be Love’.
960 Music considers this as an infringement of 2face rights, in the national copyright laws, and will seek redress via legal channels.
Read their full statement below.
It has been brought to our attention that there is a song “Crazy Love” being circulated on the internet which was composed and sang by one Ewa and purportedly featuring 2Face.
We wish to use this medium to categorically state that 2Face did not feature in any song composed and sang by any Ewa. The song is an illegal manipulation and super-imposition on 2Face’s unreleased song titled “Could This Be Love”. This odious and fraudulent act is not only condemnable but also an assault to the integrity of the entertainment industry which thrives on creativity and hard work.
In particular, the act is an infringement of 2Face right under the Copyright Act Cap C28, LFN 2004 and we shall employ the full force of law to enforce the breach of his reproduction, publishing, performance, communication rights which have been breached.
TAKE NOTICE that any person who performs or caused to be performed the said infringing song shall also be guilty of infringement under the Copyright Act and we shall not hesitate to bring the full weight of law to bear on the person.
