Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 32685, member: 636"] Famous Ghanaian rapper Medikal faces legal trouble over his new song Welcome to Africa. Veteran music group Alabaster Box claims he stole from their popular track Akwaaba. Their lawyers sent him an official notice dated April 8 about this problem. The legal team pointed out that his song copies theirs during the first 10 seconds with clear similarities. They say this creates a "derivative work" from their original music. The lawyers demanded that Medikal take down the song everywhere, stop performing it completely, and end all marketing deals related to the track immediately. They asked for full details about the money earned from the song. The notice also requests a list of everyone who received copies. Alabaster Box warns they'll go to court if he ignores these demands. They plan to seek an injunction against the song plus money for damages. Music fans wait to see how Medikal responds to these serious allegations. [/QUOTE]
