In a recent comment, @egi_nupe_ expressed concern over Brainjotter’s use of the song “Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche” by Nigerian singer Mike Ejeagha in his viral dance content.
The video reportedly generated significant revenue, raising ethical questions about using another artist’s work without permission.
By leveraging Ejeagha’s creativity for personal gain, Brainjotter risks not only facing legal repercussions but also damaging his reputation within the creative community.
The crux of @egi_nupe_’s argument lies in the notion that offering a sum of money—specifically, 2 million naira—does not equate to fair compensation for the unauthorized use of the song.
This gesture seems more like an attempt to placate the original artist rather than a genuine acknowledgment of their work and its value.
The commenter suggests that this approach trivializes the seriousness of copyright infringement, as it implies that financial compensation can simply erase the act of exploitation.
