Ultima: We Don’t Owe Paul Play

Producer of popular music talent hunt show, Project Fame, Ultima Limited, has denied the infringement claims levelled against the outfit by singer and producer, Paul Play Dairo.

In a statement, Ultima said the outfit is not owing Paul Play or any artiste royalties for the use of their musical works in its show.

It said Ultima, “as a law abiding corporate citizen, respecting the rights of all stakeholders in her conduct of business,” has duly paid Copyrights Society of Nigeria, COSON, which was the government approved collecting agency, for all musical works that they used.

PAUL PLAY sues MTN+ULTIMA 500 Million Naira For infringement on his intellectual property.

Paul play Dairo has gone to court for redress over the unlawful use of hit song “angel of my life” on project fame.

Paul was in the US when the song was used without proper licensing.

Reliable source indicated that his intellectual property manager, Mr. Ayo Rotimi was not even aware of the situation.

We gathered that calls were made to the two organisations and their responses were cold and uncooperative.
