Kiss Daniel promoted a new record label, Flyboy Inc, under which he released his latest single, No Do. Thereafter G-Worldwide sued him to court, on the following grounds;

·     That he took steps to appoint a new manager,

·     That he solicited for bookings,

·     That he continued to negotiate and enter performance agreements in respect of the songs from the album New Era and Evolution produced under his pre-existing contract

·     That he used the stage name ‘Kiss Daniel’ without the company’s prior consent and permission.

In relation to the case, G-Worldwide’s lawyers, Calmhill Partners stated as follows;

·     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 has further warned the general public against contracting any business with Kiss Daniel by a statement which 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.”

 

·         Anyone who conducted business with Kiss Daniel pending the determination of the suit risked being held in contempt of court.
