Bad Bunny Pushes for $465K in Fees After Copyright Win
Bad Bunny is asking a court to order emPawa Africa to pay about $465,612 in attorney’s fees after he prevailed in a copyright dispute over the Un Verano Sin Ti track Enseñame a Bailar; the Nigerian producer Dera’s suit was dismissed for missed deadlines, and emPawa Africa was dropped as a plaintiff. His lawyers argue the case was meritless and that the sample was obtained with permission from Lakizo Entertainment, noting the plaintiff’s strategy to extract a settlement. The motion also suggests the co-plaintiff was not primarily responsible for prosecuting the case.
