The music industry is a complex world filled with legal intricacies and uncertainties that can catch individuals off guard if they are not well-informed.
A recent controversy involving Tiwa Savage and Amoako Belo has brought to light the importance of understanding copyright laws in the industry.
The issue revolves around the similarities in lyrics between Tiwa Savage’s song and Amoako Belo’s earlier work, “Kilimanjaro.”
Belo took to Facebook to accuse Tiwa Savage of infringing on his copyright by using the ‘Kilimanjaro’ line in her new hit song, ‘Kilamanjaro’ featuring Black Sherrif.
This accusation has sparked debates on social media, with some arguing that ‘Kilimanjaro’ is a common expression and not exclusive to Belo.
Tiwa Savage has yet to respond to the allegations, leaving the situation unresolved. In the meantime, Amoako Belo’s song ‘Kilimanjaro’ has climbed to the No. 50 position on Apple Music Top 100: Ghana, showcasing his rising popularity in the industry.
