Copyright Battle: Cynthia Morgan Threatens Queen Ure


 

The feud between Pastor turned singer Queen Ure Okezie and Northside singee, Cynthia Morgan has reached new dimensions with latter threatening fire and brimstone. It was reported that Queen Ure took Cynthia Morgan to court in December 2014 for allegedly infringing on her copyright with the song, ‘Popori’.

Queen Ure claims 'Popori', which is the title of her album and a song, is her copyright. The fair skinned banker turned musician also claims she had the sound recording registered at the Nigerian Copyright Commission and a copyright certificate was issued to her in 2013.

But in a swift reaction, Cynthia Morgan has threatened to physically assault the former wife of Soul E if she crosses her path in a recent post on social media. The Northside Music Inc artiste made this threat in her response to Queen Ure’s reported court order restraining her (Cynthia) from using ‘Popori’ as a song title.

"I was going to keep quiet about this so called Queen Ure madness. Now I see she isn’t worth it. First of all, I never knew this lady existed because obviously she is not my generation I bet she started singing in the 1980’s my mum doesn’t even know you because you weren’t relevant in your time not to talk of now.

"Popori is a slang from the south where I hail from. Now let’s say I agree you won your failure Porpori and you copyrighted it. Now I want to know the judicial system that gave you an injunction to order Cynthia Morgan to court.

“Your Porpori is with an “R” mine is without an “R” mine is “popori” so which judicial system is so messed up not to see this? And you are lying all around that my song Popori has been banned from radios?

“You need attention, seek it elsewhere or I’ll go crazy on you. I didn’t steal your dead song nor hook you saying I stole your word. My dog sings better than you so stay out of my lane”. The post read in part.
