The music industry is fraught with miseducation, ambiguous areas, and technical nuances that often ensnare those unfamiliar or negligent in their understanding, leaving them vulnerable to legal repercussions.

Recent developments have highlighted a contentious issue involving Tiwa Savage and Amoako Belo, stemming from a notable Afro beats and Afro pop song. The controversy arose due to striking similarities in lyrics between Tiwa Savage's composition and the earlier works of “Kilimanjaro” Amoako Belo causing a stir in the industry. The contentious matter underscores the necessity of understanding copyright intricacies.

In a Facebook post, Amoako Belo, the writer and composer for 'Kilimanjaro’, alleges that Tiwa Savage has infringed on his copyright by using the ‘kilimanjaro’ line in her new hit song, 'Kilamanjaro' featuring Black Sherrif.

He wrote: “Who is that Kilimanjaro singer? If I start right now them go say I be wicked. I go strike her YouTube page down and sue her. What is the difference between the two songs? Somebody tell her to report and do the needful. That’s all.”

This has generated debates on social media. While some assert that ‘Kilimanjaro’ is not an expression created by Belo, for which reason he cannot lay claim to it, others say there are similarities in the lyrics.

In the meantime, Tiwa Savage is yet to respond to the allegation.

Amoako Belo the "Kilimanjaro " hitmaker, assumed the No. 50 position on Apple Music Top 100: Ghana, with his song ‘Kilimanjaro" about a month ago.
