Veteran singer, Anthony Olanrewaju Awotoye better known as Tony Tetuila, and Ghanaian singer, Tic Tac has sued Wizkid over copyright infringement of their 2004 hit song, Fefe N’efe.

His tweet published by Instablog 9ja reads, “ I want to clear the air as I am hearing things coming to Ghana. Yes, it is true that Tic from Ghana (formerly known as Tic Tac) are both suing Wizkid and DJ Tunez at the Nigerian Federal High Court for violating our intellectual property rights from our song Fefe N’ efe. Our lawyers have advised us not to say more than that. Thank you.
