Ope Banwo continued: “we will vigorously challenge any entity that plays their music or video or engages them in any public performance until the end of their contract with Stingomania in 2014 without the express consent from Stingomania. all previous consents given to radio stations, TV stations, marketers etc to play the works of these two artistes is hereby suspended indefinitely until further notice….all members of the public dealing with their works do so at their own risk of appropriate legal actions. Baba Nee and Trybson have no assets to repay our investments on them but we will be happy to collect our money from any organization or entity that violates our copyright interests”.
Trybson has called Ope Banwo’s notice a personal vendetta as he and Baba Nee didn’t breach but ‘because we started telling him the truth about our career and stopped writing songs for his girlfriend, Bianca’.

“He uses course words on us when he is angry; he says he owns our lives and can do anything with us. He treats us like slaves and we don’t say anything because we were scared of him, but now we are ready to risk our careers to fight back,” added
