Nigerian singer D'banj sent lawyers after Marc Anthony for using his song without permission. The American star sampled Oliver Twist from 2012 on his 2024 album Muevense. Anthony made the stolen track his lead single and album title. D'banj spoke with Adesope Live about the legal action. The African artist felt excited at first because Anthony is famous.
D'banj said his legal team had to step forward because of business rules. Anthony never asked for approval before taking the music. The Latin version sounded similar to the original Nigerian hit. Digital technology helps artists track when people steal their songs. Legal experts handle the case against the American singer.
D'banj still respects Marc Anthony despite the lawsuit. The Nigerian star called it one of his biggest moments last year. Music lawyers work to clear the sample and secure payment. Anthony released the song officially without proper clearance. D'banj believes God works through mysterious ways to help his career.
