Tony Tetuila and Ghanaian musician Tic Tac joinly sued Nigerian Super Star, Wizkid over copyright infringement.
And are both demanding for $82,000 in compensation.
According to the plaintiffs, Wizkid had sampled their song ‘Fefe Ne Efe’ released in 2004 but failed to pay for it.

Tic reveals in an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, that Wizkid sampled the chorus of ‘Fefe Ne Efe’ for his verse on DJ Tunez’s song titled ‘Gbese’.
In a writ addressed to the defendant, Tic and Tony Tetuila are seeking damages to the tune of N30,000,000 equivalent to GH?473,379.29 ($82,758.62).
They are also seeking 35% of both digital sales and royalties DJ Tunez and Wizkid received from the song.
