Iconic musician Asa has been sued by music producer Tempoe over copyright infringement of a song titled ‘IDG,’ featuring Afrobeats star Wizkid, and ‘Love Me Or Give Me Red Wine.’ Both tracks are off her latest studio album, ‘V.’
The lawsuit filed against Asa has producer P. Prime, Apple Music’s Platoon, and distribution company Rue 11 in it. The songs ‘IDG’ and ‘Love Me Or Give Me Red Wine’ have been yanked off all streaming platforms because of the lawsuit.
According to reports, Tempoe originally produced the tracks but disagreed about splitting rights and financials with Asa. The released versions were later (re) produced by P. Prime.
The court of law would hear the lawsuit filed on July 1 on September 26, where the fate of the two songs will be decided, whether they would be reinstated on the streaming platforms following the court’s restraining order placed on them.
Asa released her fifth studio album, ‘V,’ on February 25, 2022. The compilation houses 10 tracks with features from Grammy Award winner Wizkid, Amaarae and The Cavemen.
