KISS DANIEL PLEASE STOP HIDING FROM THE LAW - G-WORLDWIDE
The clash between Kiss Daniel and his former label, G-worldwide has been
a major topic since the news of his exit broke out. The story has taken
an ugly turn with reports that the singer has been dragged to court, a
report the singer has denied through his counsel. The conflicting tales
has kept the general public in the dark.
To clear up grey areas, Punch NG interviewed the singer’s former
manager, Louiza Williams. She opened up on the circumstances surrounding
the court case and the possible consequence on Kiss Daniel’s brand.
“It is not true that he is unaware of the court order. Court officials
went to his house to serve him the documents but he avoided them. When
he was told by his gateman that he had visitors, he said he was coming
out to see them. But when he discovered they were from the court, he
refused to come out, and rather sent someone to collect the papers on
his behalf. Meanwhile, the court official had been specifically
instructed to make sure the documents were received by Kiss Daniel
himself. Kiss managed to dodge receiving the court papers; probably
because he was afraid he would be arrested. They are trying to do damage
control and cause confusion to divert attention from the real issue.
How can the Federal High Court lie? I would just advise them to respond
to the court suit, and on January 9, 2018, Kiss Daniel has to be in
court for the hearing,” she said.
Speaking further, she said “he had been taking bookings from behind but
because of the court orders that we made public, most of the clients are
now panicking. They have been putting pressure on him to refund their
monies. Many of them have also been calling us.”
About the consequence if Kiss Daniel ignored the court order and
continued putting out records and performing at shows. Williams said,
“Even if he goes ahead to release an album or fails to maintain the
status quo like the court ordered, we wouldn’t take laws into our hands.
But that would be against the court order and you know what that means.
We would only need to provide a proof that he indeed disobeyed the
court’s order.”

Williams also spoke on the claim of G-worldwide on the name ‘Kiss
Daniel’, she said, “I cannot really speak on the origin of the name but
what matters is the contract he signed. Personally, I don’t like reading
artistes’ contracts because I believe it is between the individual,
their lawyers and the record label.I don’t like to be privy to the contracts because I am not a biased person. Irrespective of the relationship between me and the artiste, once I notice that there is a breach of contract, I would speak out. However, I am sure that whatever the label is doing now is based on the contract that was signed between both parties. If he did not sign away the right to whatever name, then the label wouldn’t ask him to stop using it. Though I have been told he actually signed something to that effect.”
