Danny Young and Tiwa Savage settle lawsuit out of court

Recall that Danny Young came forward early this year after Tiwa Savage released her end of 2018 song, One, and alleged song theft.

Following Tiwa Savage’s silence on the matter, Danny Young turned to the court to settle his grievances, filing a 200 million naira lawsuit against Tiwa and Mavin Records.

In the suit, he sought a declaration that by copying, performing, and distributing literary work and music lyrics authored and owned by him without lawful authority, the defendants have infringed on his copyright.

He also sought an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants, whether by themselves or their agents, from further copying, performing, recording, reproducing, or communicating to the public, his musical composition.

He has now shared that the two parties have come to an out of court settlement. He shared this news on his Instagram page.

His statement reads in part:

“Mutual efforts in this regard have been successful and our client and the defendants, Tiwa Savage and Mavin Records, have come to a common understanding and agreed on the terms for the discontinuation of the suit. Therefore we shall no longer be proceeding with the court action.”
