Following the crisis between two recoding companies, Afesco Records and Eleshin Records over Ameerat Ameenat Ajao a.k.a. Obi Rere, the Music Advertisers Association of Nigeria (MAAN), has advised its members not to buy the video of the album until the resolution of the crisis.
Speaking through its President, Alhaji Waheed Oyediran a.k.a. Mosebolatan, the association said that it is not taking sides but there is need to be careful so as not to be embarrassed.
Oyediran said the case, which was earlier resolved by MAAN, NARI, AGRED and other stakeholders in the industry, is currently before the Nigerian Ccopyright Commission for final resolution.
Investigations revealed that the crisis started when the singer left Eleshin Records to record the video of the song, Obi Rere, for Afeesco Records. The issue was later reported by the former to stakeholders and when it could not be resolved, the NCC is now looking into it.
