A renowned singer-songwriter, instrumentalist Abolore Akande, popularly known as 9ice, has gradually been making efforts to get back into the minds of some lovers of good music in Nigeria.

The artiste has reportedly been struggling like a new born baby to gain his feet back in the industry he once ruled.

Few years ago, he even got the rare privilege to perform for one of Africa's greatest legends, Nelson Mandela during his birthday. It was a great feat achieved by the estranged husband of Toni Payne.

Some hours ago 9ice warned website and blogs owners to stop uploading his songs on their platforms without his consent.

He issued the warning via his Twitter handle, and spread the following message:

"please stop uploading my songs on your websites without my permission. Good intention wrong execution. Pls honour this."

According to Nigeriafilms.com, who spoke to the singer's management, DicotyleDon Entertainment, by telephone, the main reason behind the decision has been revealed: Spinlet has got the exclusive right to upload the song for now, based on an agreement the music streaming site had with 9ice. He further disclosed that the right was only for few weeks.
