G-Worldwide has also released a statement to back the court order. Read it below.
On October 13, 2017, Kiss Daniel went public with his decision to exit G-Worldwide,
after four years in the record label. The singer subsequently set up
his personal imprint – Flyboi Inc. – and has released a debut single
titled ‘No do.’
But G-Worldwide has instituted a law suit against his actions. The company has dragged him to court, accusing him of “taking
steps to appoint a new manager, solicit for bookings, and has continued
to negotiate and enter performance agreements in respect of the songs
from the album New Era, and Evolution which is set to be released soon
containing singles such as Yeba, For You, Senorita, Sofa and others,
produced under the contract, including using the stage name ‘Kiss
Daniel’ without the company’s prior consent and permission.”

A statement made available to Punch via G-Worldwide’s lawyers, Calmhill Partners,
states that a Federal High Court in Lagos had on November 30, granted
an order that all parties should maintain the status quo under the
contract. The company further warned the general public against
contracting any business with Kiss Daniel.
The statement read, “The
import of the order being that the state under which the parties
existed under the contract should be preserved until the court makes a
determination of the motion on notice filed by the company. All and any
dealings in respect of the upload, distribution, and or performance of
any of the songs, as well as the use or exploitation of the name ‘Kiss
Daniel’ can therefore only be entered or made with the prior written
consent and permission of the company as provided under the contract.”
But in a statement released by Kiss Daniel's legal representatives, L&A legal consultants, the singer denies the existence of the injunction.
“The
Federal High Court sitting in Lagos denied and refused G-Worldwide
Entertainment Ltd.’s application restraining our client from performing,
recording, or using the stage name ‘Kiss Daniel’," the statement read.
The
new court document which have been made available to Pulse, states
otherwise, and clearly confirms that the court has ordered the contract
to be valid, pending a hearing on January 9, 2018.
Kiss
Daniel was signed to G-Worldwide Entertainment in 2013. He broke out in
2015 after the success of ‘Woju’. In 2016, he released his debut album “New Era.”
