Producer Slams N5bn Copyright Lawsuit Against Sinach Over ‘Way Maker’

Renowned gospel artist Osinachi Kalu, professionally known as Sinach, has been taken to court by music producer Michael Oluwole, popularly called Maye, over an alleged copyright dispute. Maye has filed a N5 billion lawsuit against Sinach, claiming co-authorship of her 2016 hit song Way Maker.

In the case, registered as FHC/L/CS/402/2024, Maye is seeking recognition as a co-author and co-owner of the song, along with N5 billion in damages for alleged infringement of his rights. Sinach has denied the allegations, asserting her sole authorship of the track and highlighting her global recognition even before the release of Way Maker.

The trial, which commenced at the Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, has been adjourned to January 29 and 30, 2025.
