JUST IN: Mercy Chinwo Threatens N2b Lawsuit Against Singer Who Used Her Name In A Secular Music

Popular Nigerian gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo, has threatened to sue a Nigerian Afrobeats singer identified as Obidiz for using her name, image and video in a secular song. 

The singer, Obidiz, recently released a song which was named after the gospel singer “Mercy Chinwo”. 

He also used the image and video clips of the gospel singer to promote the song. Mercy Chinwo has reacted to this, threatening to sue the singer for N2b for using her name and image in a secular song. In a statement that surfaced online, Mercy Chinwo, through her lawyer, expressed her grievance over the act of the singer. 

It was said in the statement that Mercy Chinwo as a renowned gospel artiste has built a respectable brand and spiritual representation for herself as she is only known for promoting the gospel of Christ and spreading positivity through her music. 
The statement further read that it came to the gospel singer’s shock that the singer, Obidiz, released a song which was named after the gospel singer and contains disparaging and derogatory lyrics. 

 Obidiz was asked to take down the song from all music digital platforms.
