A Nigerian artiste known as GabbyG, has had his music video taken down by YouTube from their platform just few days after hitting the airwaves, for copyright infringement.

The song titled Amen, was released by the Italy based musician.

The song became controversial following a complaint made by a female German artiste’s manager, Maka Jackson, claiming ownership of the beat used in the song.

The controversy has also resulted in YouTube pulling down the video following a take-down notice made by Maka to it, alleging copyright infringement.

YouTube warned Mr. Gabby:

“Due to a copyright take-down notice that we have received, we had to take down your video title AMEN featuring Mr. NATURE, from YouTube. The take-down was issued by Maka Jackson. This means that your video can no longer be played on YouTube. Please don’t upload videos containing copyrighted content that you aren’t allowed to,”

In his reaction, Mr. Gabby, denied any copyright infringement in the beat, saying that he bought the beat from his producer, who accidentally was the same producer used by Maka.

“I bought the beat from my producer who is also the one producing for Maka and there was nothing to suggest that Maka has the copyright to the beat.

So how could she have accused me of infringing on her ownership of the beat? She is just trying to intimidate me,” Mr. Gabby said.

Maka, who is an artiste manager had claimed that she bought the beat from the producer for one of her artistes whom she no longer manages, and therefore has the ownership right to the beat.

Mr. Gabby has however vowed to pursue the matter to a logical conclusion as the video was already drawing large viewership before it was pulled down.

I suppose his account makes use of AdSense and he was hoping to earn from it... YouTube doesn't care, it's in their rules..you can upload any copyrighted video for other purpose but once you upload a video or property without the proper process or rights, they'll take it down and you won't earn a dime from it.

They should all go and look for a decent job

Nice

Nigeria has made you a zombie, you need to travel.

Maka why nah

But Pia Mia's music video( I'm a fan) wasn't taken down for plagiarizing Phyno's I'm a fan's beat and lyrics

Ok. Nigerian artistes abroad come Nigeria and let wicket producers cook your beats.

Truly, the guys wet steal beat fall 180m Nigerians hands

Producers will never die well. I don't know what they enjoy in selling already purchased beats to smaller artists. Around the world they get their asses kicked over this matter.

Gone are the days people will go abroad, listen or buy a particular music, then come home to put his lyrics on the music.

I was very surprise when I walked in Walmart in US, and the music that played was a music of a popular Nigerian gospel artiste.

This has going on since, but the new crop of artistes are changing that.

Wack song! Na PR stunt

Lol
