Popular gospel singer Sinach is facing a N5 billion lawsuit filed by music producer Michael Oluwole, also known as Maye, over alleged copyright infringement involving her 2016 hit song, Way Maker.
In the suit, numbered FHC/L/CS/402/2024, Maye claims to be a co-author and co-owner of the song and is seeking N5 billion in damages for alleged infringement of his rights. Sinach, however, has denied the allegations, asserting that she is the sole author of the song and had achieved global recognition prior to Way Maker.
The case, which commenced at the Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, has been adjourned until January 29 and 30, 2025.
