Must Read! Kiss Daniel May Not Have A Name Anymore

‘Kiss Daniel’ may need to change his name once again.

Following series of court cases regarding the breach of contract between Kiss Daniel and his former record label; G-worldwide, the latter has come out to lay claims on the artiste’s changed name.
After his disagreement with his record label, and other pending court cases, kiss Daniel went ahead, to change his name from ‘Kiss Daniel’ to ‘Kizz Daniel’, even going ahead to release about 4 new song in that name. However, events have taken another turn as his former record label; G-worldwide has come out to file a trademark for the name; ‘Kizz Daniel’, claiming it is a theft of intellectual property. A statement released by the label to the media read:

“The Management of G-Worldwide Entertainment wishes to inform the general public that the matter of G-Worldwide Entertainment Ltd v Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe before the Federal High Court, Lagos Division, is still ongoing contrary to the fake news being peddled by the artiste and his advisers to mislead the public.
Following several requests and enquiries by Nigerian and foreign online media and entertainment outfits about the status of the matter, it has become needful to notify the public of the current state of facts.
The suit at the Federal High Court last came up on 16th May 2018 whereupon our lawyers informed the Judge of a pending application for status quo to further restrain the rebellious acts of the artiste in view of the recent release of previously unreleased songs from the Evolution album, as well as the continued use of the name Kiss Daniel without our approval…
It also interesting to inform the public that the Court was informed about the artiste’s release of the new song
We therefore need to let the public know that these releases demonstrate that the artiste is on a trip to put the credibility of other artistes whom he collaborates with in question.
We are also aware that the artiste has released the video of 4 Days, done a collaboration with Sheyi Shay titled Surrender, and another song, Me ke with Omawumi by changing his name from ’Kiss Daniel’ to ‘‘Kizz Daniel.’’
Let the whole world also take note that G-Worldwide is also the owner of the name ‘‘Kizz Daniel’’ (see acceptance and acknowledgement documents from the Ministry of Trade & Investment).
All digital platforms have been put on notice for take down of infringing materials where the name Kizz Daniel is in use, and we have responded to foreign and local media outfits on this issue following calls for clarification.
We also wish to formally inform the public that the artiste’s use of the names Kiss Daniel and Kizz Daniel amount to breach of the company’s intellectual property rights. Thank you”
