Ko-C accused of stealing intellectual property

K0-C, a Cameroonian musician, just released “Landé,” a new song which he feature in, in celebration of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
Many TikTokers have remade the artist’s video and posted it on the app. All of the videos made with the song lack audio as a result of the copyright report.
Because content creators work so hard to produce engaging videos others cannot use their intellectual property without giving them credit. Social media sites have rigorous copyright laws. Here are TikToks Copyright policies

According to some accounts, the skits were created before Ko-C submitted a copyright to his music and has since settled with the comedians. Ko-C’s recently released single is unknown if it is copyright violation since the comedians do not have a copyright to the skit.
