Legal Battle Erupts Over Burna Boy's Music Catalogue Ownership
A legal dispute has arisen over Burna Boy's early music catalogue involving his former record label, Aristokrat, and current management team, Spaceship. The conflict began in mid-2024 and has escalated to a lawsuit in the Federal High Court in Lagos, with criminal charges filed. 960 Music claims a 40% stake in Aristokrat and alleges that the sale of Burna Boy's master recordings was done without proper consent, leading to a legal battle over ownership rights.
The court has favored 960 Music in some rulings, impacting the distribution of Burna Boy's music. The controversy has also led to criminal investigations and charges against individuals involved in the alleged fraudulent transactions.
The situation has further complicated Burna Boy's music rights and partnerships, with legal battles ongoing.
