    Soso Soberekon, according to Harrison Tare Okiri, aka Harrysong, is not his friend. He continued by claiming that Soberekon once dispatched assassins to kill him in Port Harcourt. During an interview with the host of the Frankly Speaking Podcast, the singer revealed this. The singer said this to justify his argument that people in the entertainment industry who claim to be his friends are actually his enemies. When Harrysong was signed to Five Star Music, a record label owned by Kcee and his brother, Emeka Okonkwo, Soso Soberekon was Kcee’s manager, but things fell apart between them when the singer left the label. Soso once sent his men to beat up Harrysong’s manager, Desmond Ike, for allowing the singer to leave the ...

    Ed Sheeran, a British singer, has been charged in court with plagiarism of Marvin Gaye’s song. A federal judge ordered the singer to stand trial in response to allegations that he plagiarised Marvin Gaye’s 1973 hit song “Let’s Get It On” on his 2014 track “Thinking Out Loud.” In his court application, Ed Sheeran contended that the copyright claims were “baseless” and “far too frequent.” The plaintiffs, however, claim that Ed Sheeran and his writing partner, Amy Wadge, plagiarised and exploited the Marvin Gaye song without permission or credit, “including but not limited to the melody, rhythms, harmonies, drums, bass line, backing chorus, tempo, syncopation, and looping,” and they are seeking $100 million (£90 million) in damages. The trial date, on the other hand, is yet to be set. This is not the singer’s first legal battle. A lawsuit was recently filed against him and his songwriting partners, John McDaid and Steven McCutcheon, alleging that the chorus of their song “Shape of You” was lifted word for word from Ross O’Donoghue and Sami Chokri’s 2015 single, “Oh Why.” During the March 2022 trial, the High Court Judge ruled that the imitation was not done “purposefully or unconsciously.”  Ed and his co-defendants were awarded costs of £900,000 afterwards. Upon the court’s decision, Ed communicated his hope on his Instagram page that it would put an end to further frivolous claims.
