Bad Bunny is asking a court to order Nigerian record label emPawa Africa to pay $465,612 in legal fees after the singer successfully defeated a copyright lawsuit over his song “Enséñame a Bailar.”
The legal dispute began in May 2024 when Nigerian producer Dera, whose real name is Ezeani Chidera Godfrey, filed a lawsuit claiming the track from Bad Bunny’s album Un Verano Sin Ti included an uncleared sample. According to the complaint, the song allegedly used elements from “Empty My Pocket,” a 2019 track he produced for Nigerian artist Joeboy.
