Kelly Hansome Arrested; Signs Undertaking To Mo’Hits Records


We’ve just received this from Mohits Records concerning the Kelly Hansome leak which was posted sometime last week (but was promptly deleted).

“Yesterday Monday 24th October 2011, at the Garki Police Command Headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force, one Kelechi Obinna Orji, also known as “kelly hansome” was brought in to the said Station and taken into custody and remanded on bail in the sum of eight hundred thousand Naira (N800,000.00) concerning, among other things, his admitted willful infringement of the intellectual property rights (copyright) of Mo’Hits Records Limited.

He signed an Undertaking and Apology in favour of the said Mo’Hits Records at about 4p.m., witnessed by several police officers (including Chief Superintendent Victor Erivwode, the Divisional Police Officer). A scan of the said Undertaking is attached to this email. He undertook to refrain from further use of Mo’Hits Recprds Limited’s material, released or unreleased, and offered profuse apologies to Mo’Hits Records Limited. He also appeared to be convincingly remorseful to everyone at the Station, including the extremely distraught father of his equally embarrassed friend mr Rex in Abuja.

The Police Station was attended by the said kelly hansome and his advisers and counsel for his part, and by representatives and counsel for Mo’Hits Records Limited.”

*O.O*

Kelly tweeted this an hour ago: “I do hereby order all online media outlets to desist 4rm further use of the song(feeling good by Tuface&Dbanj- Kelly Hansome remix)..”

  1. So don jazzy has decided to shut this guy up with the cops! see levels, money dey speak oo. I hear he was even remorseful

  2. im sooo glad to see this … wtf is kelly handsome feeling like ?? dude stop stepping on toes do ur own thing ! don jazzy na baba thats why we dey call am don baba jay !

  3. How is his remixing that song a crime if its not for sale?
    Is it coz the 2face + Dbanj song was LEAK in the first place?
    some1 explain to me.

    • Go back to school or stop sharing your ignorance on this page, you always post dumb stuff. Does copyright infringement sound familiar ??

      • Mr. obama, i rem u, longtime no hia, u bin wan kill me the last time we meet.
        Ofcourse i do understand the whole: don't use unless you get express permission from the owner ish,
        but com on.
        guess Mo'hits just dey flex muscle, wan use KH do scapegoat.
        KH for steer clear of the song if he knew it was Mohits property, unto say him don diss them b4.
        I feel for KH sha.
        he shud play safe next time.

        • Mr Amblors, I intentionally went at you because of our last encounter, am sorry if I sounded rude in anyway. How you dey ?? Kelly is an arse, Remixing the song of an individual you have constantly dissed for no reason is quite idiotic and dumb. Mohits won't have went at any other artiste asides him.

  4. even in the music industry there is hierarchy … kelly i believe you should learn from this and stop been rude all the time . shey na only you ??? Habaaa

  5. hahhhahaha, well, i personly just feel that karma caught up wit him though. i dont think him remixin a song shud cause this much harm, coz pple remix stuff every single day, esp. in this country. Coz if they really wanna arrest, almost all artists will be behind bars.lol. I just think kelly had it coming, coz he had causes too much wahala, and had gone too far with his 'controversy'. Clearly throwing shots at MoHits, M.I….for no reason!, coz M.I had sed it countlessly that he neva sed anythin to kelly that was ever derogatory, likewise DonJazzy. SO wot really was the problem???…*u see my point?*. I just feel it was karma, and he had it coming.*smiles*. CHEERS.

  6. LOL, Kelly Hansome played himself into this, u know you are not in good terms with dem and you still went ahead to work on their material…I don't think Don Jazzy would have reacted this way if it were some other artiste…..

  7. i don't think there's anything wrong in what mo'hits did. in order to remix a song,you need copyright from the main artiste(s) that sang the song. also,when using songs as soundtracks for movies,you need permission. but Nigerians just go ahead and do whatever they want. remix songs, use them in movies without legal consent from the original artiste. if everyone will follow mo-hits footsteps, i bet the rate of piracy and copyright infringement in Nigeria will go down. don-jazzy has every right do to what he did,so stop throwing insults at him. how would you feel when someone else reaps the fruit of your labor without your permission? look at it from his own perspective and don't be judgmental.

  8. All you expressing youя distate…imagine if this was in the us or any other country where these laws were taken more seriously, kelly wouldn't even have dreamt of doing what he did.

  9. that is going a little too far …totally unnecessary if u ask me..in that case m.i should get arrested for all his illegal music mix-tape songs

  10. people this guy was already making deals wit alaba ppl to make money mohits did d right thing, if it was america it will b worse

  11. DON jazzy or what he calls himself is a mad boy, cos he managed to get papers doesn’t mean he should misbehave. this is taking afrobeats dan the drain. DON JAZZY shod come buy shares in london stock with mohits let’s know he’s got bars. shii

  12. FUCK MO'HITS THE KELLY HANSOME VERSION IS EVEN BETTER IM A DJ N I GON PLAY IT OVER N OVER FUCK D DON N DBANJ N ERR 1 who is cool with this nonsense

  13. Only Nigeria they will arrest artists just like that without even taking them to court or somin. I made a remix to Choc boiz nobody test me last year. As soon as it started getting much views on youtube some nincompoop blocked it all in the name of copy rights. Why dem no come arrest me na?

  14. Lmao…kelly ure lawyer nor try for u….800k for police bail??? …..oya better go lodge complaint ooo, if possible slap dem back with a law suit!!…dem don catch mugu,lmao!!…..its actually sad that u can purchase pretty much nythn in naija with money….NPF join!!!

  15. I SO !!! HATE MO' HITS AS A CREW RIGHT NOW… THIS GUY SAID " forget the beef" HABA DON JAZZY YOUR FADA, U R BETTER THIS !!!

  16. ALL OF UNA WEY DEY ABUSE DONJAZZY…OGUN PUNISH UNA MAMA AND PAPA..WHICH PATERN…U PRAY MAKE UR PAPA DO BUSINESS MAKE HE NO MAKE PROFIT….THIS SO CALL BASTERD (KELLY HANSOME) HAS BEEN BUSY DISSING THIS GROUP(MOHIT)..WAY BACK….INSTEAD MAKE HE GO DO SONG WEY GO MAKE PEOPLE KNOW AM NA M.I HE GO DEY ABUSE…IF HE GET TALENT Y HIM GO STEAL ANOTHER MAN PROPERTY….IF U NA WAN DIE MAKE U NA FREE DONJAZZY OOOO….THEN FOR CARRY AM GO KIRIKIRI SEF…STUPID KELLU UGLY

  17. Beef is when you cant sleep at night
    beef is when I see you, gurantee to be an I see you…CLASSIC BIGGIE…B.I.G was the ish

  18. There's no infringement there,Pac used BIG's track to make Hit'em Up,and artistes make mixtapes with beats from other artistes songs in otherwords as long as you have released a track on the beat already I am not infringing on your rights as long as I don't sell the track or else MI would've been sued heavily for his illegal music

    • nope…there is infringement there. you are not supposed to make use of a material without consent as long as it aint urs, whether released or mot. the sad part is that in Nigeria these things have become like a norm which is a big no no here in the UK and the US. with intent to sell or not, you might gain some form of fame for that song which could therefore fetch you profits. its never right. its just become like a norm in Naija. it can even be tolerated if an upcoming act does it, but not someone who should know how the business operates.

    • dude the lawyers would tell you its infringement except with express permission from the owner. if u use it and the owner doesnt claim infringement, the person just doesnt want to sue you. its a norm in 9ja that everything goes, so this came as a shock. Yea M.I can be sued for IM but the owners of the beats prob don't care, they prob havn't heard the mixtape. Kelly should be careful in the future and use his 'friends' tracks.

    • yea yea , i knw that. there's bin no situation like this in 9ja to my knowledge hence my shock. Oleku was remixed tonnes of times by plenty people. Guess its to teach KH a lesson.

  19. i'm doin aite man, u seem to b njoying urself on this page, lol. I thought it was a 2face song, i think the titled of the song when it leaked was 2face ft dbanj. mayb Kelly thought same, i would think he's smart enuf to steer clear of mohits property after dissin em.

  20. so u're sayin lil wayne wz arrested for all his mixtape joints and remixes ba?? Save me dat crapp…dis was unwarrated… But itz legal anyway. Jazzy hz the rightz to do anyfin wiv his intellect… So yung6ix shld be arrested for his Oleku nw.. Nonsense.

  21. That means say Remedies suppose go answer query cos na dem over do remix for dis naija industry. lol.

    If those artist see say dem fit make money for copy right issues, dem go begin dey arrest artist up and down.

    Terry G suppose go arrest mallam spicy for using his beats.

    Listen: http://www.notjustok.com/2009/12/09/mallam-spicey

    Eldee suppose go arrest that girl wey use her song do remix.

    Jay Z suppose con arrest Modenine and terry the rapman too.

    Gyptian suppose throw Wizkid to jail for jamaica abi for hague. lol

    I dey very disappointed in mohits, jare. I no support anybody.

    As far as I am concerned, dem no pass any correct message.

    For now naija na copy copy.

  22. This is some bull shit. Isn't the original song I'm Feeling Good by 2Face? I know D'banj was featured on it, but how does it become solely a MoHits record? I just don't get it. And 2Face was also on the remix. Why isn't 2Face being mentioned in any of this? Nigeria is just a useless country. I sense more of intimidation here from Mohit. Well, still a die hard Kelly Hansome fan. Lest I forget, the remix was much better than the original song!

  23. iDJA. baba o! i dint know it had reached this extent. Anyway, kelly has been insulting mo hits so he shouldnt use their product. But still,it was 2face's product. Anyway, God dey.Dat means ice prince should arrest everybody that did oleku remix. Jail go full. Even me sef go enter. Lmao

    • banky got permissions be4 using her beat.and for oleku,all the versions done,where just for fun.and in all the oleku remixes if u noticed, all the artists gave a shout out to iceprince…and they didnt act like iceprince told them to remix the song.unlike kellyhansome…he acted like he and tuface where in same studio and then tuface permitted him to use the beat or the song.

  24. For those saying Mo'hits should have left the guy, REMEMBER that this was the same guy that was openly dissing them in MULTIPLE tracks! Did you ever get a response for Mo'hits from any of the songs/ NO! Now this happens and y'all think it's a coincidence?! Nah! It's a perfectly card played by Mo'hits with a well written message "PAYBACK IS A B*TCH"….

  25. Kelly is a flop,M.I remix dbanj gbono feli feli nd all ws fine wiv dem buh kelly ws 2 silly cos he wsnt in gd terms wiv mo hit nd he wnt on using thre materials still he deserved 2 b called 2 order nd hope he still gt moni 2 make anoda diss video

  26. lol.why are u hating…and for managing to ave money .it does not work like that,ave ever heard don jazzy telling anyone he his rich or he has a Bentley or he has a mansion hun .the humbled him self and GOD blessed him.and for the shares…when idja went for an interview he never wanted to reveal this but he had to,he said "in naira i am a billionaire and in dollars i am a millionaire" u know there are differeces between people who ave billions and people who are billionaires .if u understand me……………this said has not been released .is that not bad ..he did a remix to a song which has not been released

  27. DAMMMMMMMM do people understand the difference btw sampling a song and using an unreleased song…..Douche bags plenty for not just ok ooooo

  28. Hey Mr.Wiseguy! A mixtape is NOT a crime because there's NO profit involved. When you do use another person's material it is not a crime UNTIL you make money from it without the person's consent. That's the difference. Mixtapes are free. Why did Don Jazzy not sue M.I for remixing Mo Gbono Feli Feli on Illegal Music???

    • abi now…y didnt he sue mohits….it was a leak i guess and it was not on itunes, i guess teeklef should watch his back now cos dey might sue him soon for sampling d'banj voice on dat video he did…hmmm hands on deck…

  29. The fact that the rest of those people did not take action does not make this less of a crime. Some people actually know how to exercise their rights!

    Besides, do you think those American artistes know that the Nigerian artistes exist? They don't give a flippin bleedin F about Naija artist……at least not until anyone starts using their songs to rack up cash internationally. They could care less about people that buy a remixed version of their songs on the streets of Naija for N150. Think again bro.

  30. idon't support any.it's wrong to remix the song without permission from them but i still think mo hitz went too far.we don't need this na in our music scene now

  31. Thing people fail to realize is that this song was never "Officially" released and was first leaked by tayotv and then 360nobs, its even on 4shared.com which has obviously affected the expected reaction from music people the first time they listen to it. DonJazzy managed to get 360nobs to take it down after a few hrs but i dont know about the other sources.
    I guess DonJazzy was only furious because a song which was being managed (Damage Control after the leak) is getting a makeover. So let's get this straight people, in this context, Banky.W (aka Wayne Head) remixing Rihanna's Umbrella doesnt count and neither does Wizkid remixing Girls by Se7en as those songs were officially released.

  32. come to think of it…kelly handsome murda d'banj for d track….then know say if den release d 2 version…kelly handsome own go sell passs… just saying oo…please don baba j dont come n arrest me ooo…lmao

    • buh again..kelly was stupid to get on dat track if i was don jazzy i would ave don worst…how can u insult my car then later tell me u want a free ride

  33. Kelly handsome killed and buried the remix. He dug it out and killed it again. Mohits felt threatened by his badass flow. If you were them, you would do what they just did out of fear……trust me.

  34. Kelly Handsome is super good….so matter what is said to run him down will never run him down. That down murdered the track. There's no need to hate on him…Kelly Handsome is musically on point…..he's version of gyptian's track is still the best rmx i've ever heard……so lets learn to appreciate rather than hate. Bad belle THROW WAY!!!!!!!!!

  35. The Kelly handsome guy ought to have been sent to jail for infringing on another persons work. Most of them do it and get away with it.

  36. if a rat is tryin to show say him be lion na wetin dey happen to am be that ,mohits no need yur money na ,na u too do na pele dont cry again

  37. So many uneducated people in Nigeria. There's a world of difference between "borrowing" and " stealing". Sampling a song is like borrowing, remaking an unreleased song without authorisation is stealing, pure and simple. If Kelly Hansome spent half the time he spent generating and fostering squabbles composing songs he might not have had the need to jump on a song by the same people he lashed out at unprovoked. And maybe if he hadn't insulted Mo'Hits in his quest for relevance he just might have been able to approach Don Jazzy for permission to use the song. Lets call it as it is. Artists live off their work and no one should benefit from another's sweat unjustly.

  38. If u've not heard the kelly version and you want 2…send me your email. Track is banging i no know all diz one una dey yarn….

  39. whoa this is definitely a set back in the naija music industry. MO'HITS are supposed to be pioneers in this upcoming naija music scene so if they arrest anyone sampling music there will be a lot of problems. Financial Compensation is understandable and how much did kelly handsome make out of this whole beef thing? greed is always a downfall of man hope mohits remember being signed to GOODMUSIC dont make you better than your naija fan base you have definitely lost some fans with this crazy move.i am definitely disppointed in mohits

  40. First of all, there is something called "intellectual property". The track was not on sale, fine, but Kelly Handsome does not own the material. Its the owner's choice to sure whoever he chooses to sue over whatever issue. Don jazzy clearly does not have a problem with Teeklef and(correct me if I'm wrong) I think Teeklef was the winner of Don Jazzy's Song competition here on notjustok wasn't he?

    Anyway, if I have a problem with the next guy because of what he's been saying about me in public and I haven't acted all this while, it still doesn't mean I'm stupid. If he tries to take what's mine in addition to his previous actions I would cut his head off! Silence does not always translate to stupidity. Kelly handsome had it coming all this while.

    You could also ask Don Jazzy why he hasn't sued Alaba boys for selling pirated copies of Mo'Hits music but its his choice if he wants to sue them or not. Kelly handsome was used as an example. Don Jazzy and Mo'Hits will not stoop as low as replying him in a beef track. Levels pass levels.

  41. u no eve fit spell bastard,u no dey see where yankee ppl dey do mixtape and use other peoples beats and redo it.guy educate urself b4 u dey post rubbish

  42. kelly pls change ya lawyer..cos he has failed u….. copyright issues are sorted out in a court and not a police station. and why u should pay that huge amount of money for bail is abuse of power. fine they can stop you from using there material without dere permission ..but not in that manner ,who ever advised them has goofed and u can capitalise on this by taking to court for intimidation and the nigerian police should be sued as well…..they ve taken the law into dere own hands and that is so sad ..this matter is not over…there are non govt organisations even in nigeria that can help u fight dis case …..wake up kelly and fight back …they took d wrong approach and u can make dem pay 2

  43. d reason y mohits sued was proli cos donjazzy produced d beat..so dey ve d right 2 sue+kelly has not bin on gud terms wif mohits..y use deir beat(n). lyk sum1 sed in all d oleku remixes d rappers gave shout out 2 iceprince+d song wnt b on deir album. mi's case is diff dats y its called mixtape.it means he is not gonna make profit on dem. he puts d mixtape songs on d internet 4 free download. nd as 4 bankyw i hrd he took permission b4 usin rihanna's umbrella song.so stop all d hatin. not sayin wat mohits dd was 9ce but kelly knows fngs ve bn a lil rough btw him nd d label so y do such?! mohits had bin quiet all d tym he was dissin dem in his songs. rememba 'evryday is 4 d thief one day is 4 d owner".

  44. kelly handsome (a.k.a ladder to the top) na u dey mess urself up ….u started ur music stuff on good note and almost everybody liked u till u started creating enemy for urself …..i told u b4 and i will tell u again naija music industry na wetin i go call inter link industry , this guys are so connected to THEMSELVES…u can't be fighting mohits and other artist go roll with u neither can u be fighting M.I and other artists like banky, eldee and co will like to av anything to do with u…….I BEG TRY CHANGE YOUR WAY ….RE-PACKAGE AND STOP ALL NONSENSE BEEFS SO THAT YOU CAN START MAKING YOUR MONEY …… NO DEY DO LIKE REBEL AGAIN NAIJA MUSIC INDUSTRY NO GET TIME FOR ALL THOSE THINGS!!!!

  50. nature is a big idiot! by the way who is nature?oh someone just told me that nature has no surname.
    kelly really murder them in that remix that was while they arrested him. kelly u tu much,i like mohits too but the bigest mistake they do is the arrest.mohits just told the world that kelly really touched them.
    to be sincere that remix is sweeter than the music
