Don Jazzy vs Wande Coal! Music Producer claims Afro Pop Star Stole his Song “Baby Face”
It seems all isn’t perfect after all in the Mavin Records camp.
In July, BellaNaija Music brought you the story that Afro Pop/R&B star Wande Coal may be exiting Mavin Records (click here to read), the record label founded by music producer Don Jazzy in 2012.
After the release of Wande Coal’s video “The Kick” which had no indication of Mavin Records, but Wande’s record label Black Diamond Ent., the streets started talking.
Today Tuesday 5th November 2013, Wande Coal released a fun upbeat track titled - Baby Face.
A few minutes ago, Don Jazzy took to Twitter to state that he is the rightful owner of the song. In one of his tweets, he claims that he produced the song a year ago.
