Danny Young and Tiwa Savage

Some few days ago, it was revealed that YouTube had taken down Nigerian songstress, Tiwa Savage song, “One” for copyright infringement of fellow artiste Danny Young’s 2009 single, “Ohu Ti Won”.

This was coming after Young alleged on his Instagram page that she took a line off his song without due credit. Despite pointing this out, Savage went ahead to release the visuals of the song without addressing Young’s compaints.

Now, in a recent interview with punchng.com, Young said he had left everything in the hands of his lawyers. He said,

“I wasn’t the one who contacted YouTube. My lawyers handled the process; I didn’t know how they went about it. You know YouTube knows the right thing to do.”

“She felt we couldn’t do anything. I am sure she and her team know that we have a valid point. We didn’t even ask them for money, but we felt intellectual theft should be taken seriously in this part of the world.

This is just the beginning; I plan to see this to the end if she doesn’t reach us for a compromise.”

As of the time of filing this report, Savage is yet to respond to Young’s accusation.
