Queen Ure - ex-wife of singer-turned-prophet,
Soul E, Few days ago, claimed that singer,
Cynthia Morgan had stolen the concept of her
‘Porpori’ song and reworked it into
‘Popori’. She went to get a court order stopping Cynthia Morgan from using the song title, “Popori”. She stated that she doesn’t want Cynthia to make use of the word ‘Popori’ and to help the case; she sought an injunction from the Federal High Court in Lagos. This morning, Cynthia went on Instagram to express her displeasure at the turn of events. *Warning! The message below has strong language.
Fact Regarding The Case
Queen Ure’s video for the song titled ‘Porpori’ (a word she said she made up), dropped in November 2012 and her 15-track album was launched on Dec 29, 2012 also with Porpori as title. She equally dropped another ‘Porpori’ video in March 2014 alongside other singles and videos.
Speaking to
NETng, Queen Ure says that what she has done is nothing personal but preservation and protection of her intellectual property as well as her contribution to the music industry so that artists can begin to respect each other’s works and start appreciating the act of registering their works so they can be protected in a case of infringement.
This drama is quite irrelevant - the slang by itself has made the song cheap - they should both take back seats. So Queen Ure sued for this? Really?
