BON/IBAN Bans Several Artists Including 2face, D'banj, Iyanya, Because of COSON

For quite some time now, the Copyrights Society of Nigeria (COSON), has been harassing the Broadcasting Society of Nigeria (BON) and the Independent Broadcasting Society of Nigeria, IBAN, insisting that they pay royalties for playing the songs of Nigerian artists. COSON has dragged several radio and TV stations to court, demanding millions, sometimes billions of Naira in royalty.

Well, it seems IBAN and BON have had enough. Two days ago, they announced the ban of all Nigerian artists registered with COSON. Meaning that they ordered the immediate stop to the airing of songs of artists who are COSON members.

The artists include 2face Idibia, D'banj, Onyeka Onwenu, Iyanya, Banky W, Flavour, Ice Prince, Dr Sid, Olamide, 9ice, M.I, eLDee, Ruggedman, Wizkid, Asa, Waje, Omawumi and several others.

SNAPSHOT: Omawumi’s Daughter is Just Like Her Mum

Singer Omawumi is well loved by fans for her unique style of music and fashion. The songstress was steeped in controversy after the birth of her daughter Kamilla fondly known as ‘Kami’.

This was moreso because she kept the identity of her baby’s father secret and because she also hid her daughter from the public eye. Well ‘Mama Kami’ has finally shown us a shot of her little daughter in this cute photo.
