It started off as rumour. And at every party the song was played, people gathered in groups to discuss it. Gradually like a wild fire, the rumour spread all over town, Tu Face had recorded a song that was not his.
Tu Face
Initially no one knew who the aggrieved musician was until a young London based and upcoming musician called Komo came to town formally with the now familiar story that, Jungle Don Mature one of the songs contained in Tu Face's new CD, Unstoppable, was written and composed by him.
Gist have it that since coming into town, Komo has in the last two weeks been to many newsrooms alleging that Tu Face who brought honours to Nigeria when he became the first African musician to win an MTV Europe Award included the song in his latest work without giving him (Komo) the deserved credit.
No be small thing as the young and talented artiste is determined to collect his pound of flesh from Tu Face for what he described as betrayal of the 'highest order'
But in a swift reaction Natz spokesperson of Hypertek, Tu Face's management company said we've read in some major newspapers, an attempt by Komo to climb on the back of our artiste to stardom by claiming that one of the songs, 'Jungle Don Mature' contained in Unstoppable, was written by him.
"We have equally been bombarded with telephone calls from media organisations and journalists seeking our side of the tissues of lies, which the London based bloke has been spinning ever since Unstoppable was released,".
Initially he said, "we didn't want to glorify Komo by joining issues with him, but as you know, if a lie is told repeatedly without challenge, it will in no time assume the status of truth; hence we have decided to respond to the allegation once and for all".
The song in question was originally produced by J.Sleek and taken to London for mixing and mastering before Tu face met Komo in London.
"Though, both know each other, it was during their meeting in London that Tu Face was told that Komo also has a song with the same title and after a brief discussion, it was agreed that Komo be featured in one of the tracks.
He was asked to do a rap session which he did. But after a careful listening session, it was generally agreed by the producers that worked on Unstoppable that the quality of Komo's rap was not good enough and so his rap was deleted.
"We made attempt to inform him of the decision to drop his rap but it was frustrating as nobody could reach him after several telephone calls.
"Tu Face did all this as his own little way of appreciating a long-standing relationship and more so, it was a gesture intended to help a brother man whose career has not blossomed as expected. Aside, all of these, no one can lay claim to intellectual ownership of a street slang like No Shaking, Nothing Dey Happen, and Yes o!

When 2face is inching closer to double platinum someone is busy propagating rubbish around. To Komo, if you really lose a song to 2face, you're careless
