Ms. Uduak, the host of The Africa Music Law Show, takes on the hot topic of cultural misappropriation where western brand owners profit through the trademark registration and monetization of African names/customs/traditions, etc. The 153rd episode specifically discusses UK retailers trademarking “Yoruba”, the name of an ethnic group in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa. The episode also discusses J.Cole’s brief stint in the Basketball Africa League (he ultimately exited), and Show Dem Camp’s “Palm Wine Festival” Nigeria challenging Promoters in the UK using the same trade name. There were two appearances made with Terrell Stoglin and Nigerian entertainment lawyer Rockson Igelige. Listen and share.
