Chinedu Ikedieze aka Aki has opened up on a rumoured fight with Osita Iheme alias Pawpaw. Many Nollywood lovers have been wondering why the comic duo no longer feature in same movies. But Aki told Punch that all is well between him and Pawpaw. He said, “I just finished shooting a film with my friend, Pawpaw. We have not been working together like in the past because we are both engaged in different projects.
“I am still shooting The Johnsons family series. When they gave us a month break, I quickly went to shoot two films with Pawpaw.
“I have kept many producers waiting, but some of them looked for other options. I am busy; Pawpaw is busy too.
“We don’t have any problem. I don’t like people carrying rumours which explains why I don’t grant interviews any longer.
“The chemistry between me and Pawpaw is still there on and off the screen as he is more like a brother to me.”
Miriam Makeba’S Family Win Rights To Her Music
The legendary South African singer's intellectual property now solely belongs to her two grandchildren.
Mariam Makeba's family has at long last, won the rights to her legendary music, the family win the legal victory over her former business manager control of her legacy.
BBC Africa reports that Graeme Gilfillan, the owner of Siyandisa Music, sued the late South African legend's two grandchildren, Lumumba and Zenzile Lee, in a bid to block their access to her intellectual property as well as the rights to her legacy.
According to the reports, the music company's aim was to retain full ownership of her name, while preventing the South African Hall of Fame from inducting the singer without a written approval from the company.
In Siyandisa argument, she said that Makeba had earlier taken steps during her career to commercialize her catalogue even after her death.
However, Makeba's family claims that the agreement was fictitious.
Finally, a judge ruled against Siyandisa Music citing South Africa's Trust Property Control Act, which states the roles and rights of trustees.
