Producer Samklef has come forward claiming ownership of six songs from Wizkid’s debut album, Superstar.
In a recent post on X, he stated that the 2011 album was recorded in his studio, but he was never compensated for the recording sessions. Samklef also mentioned that no formal contract was signed at the time, and he expressed willingness to reopen negotiations with Banky W, co-founder of Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), the label behind the album.
“Thank God I never used my masters to take any loans. I’m planning to discuss things with Banky W since there was no contract from the start. I hope the Superstar masters were never sold,” Samklef wrote.
He added, “I own six tracks from the masters because Banky didn’t pay for the studio sessions and I also own the studio where all the songs were recorded.”
It is still uncertain whether Samklef has any legal claim to the tracks or if his statement is solely based on the unpaid recording sessions.
