Moya David takes legal action against Trevor Silaz, wants him to stop copying him

Trevor Silaz, a TikToker, claims that Moya David’s legal team has sent him papers demanding that he stop stealing his choreography.

He claimed that Moya wanted him to stand out in a conversation with Commentator254 on his YouTube channel.

“The letter said I should cease doing his choreography. Ilitumwa March 2,” he said.

“Wakati nilisikia amepatent choreography, I changed my choreography. After that, the letter comes with demands to cease copying the choreography. Nimeshangaa what I should change ndio mtu asinisumbue.”

Trevor said he is not competiting with Moya David, just as there are many bloggers.

“I think the problem is my fast-growing following on social media. Nimesomea children’s home and that is why most of my videos nimefanya kwa streets kusaidia watu,” he said.

Trevor Silaz, a budding Tiktoker has been doing surprise videos around the streets of Nairobi. His main focus starving poor people.

He dances for them and hands them a rose, food, and some cash.

Moya threatens Trevor

But it seems the ever-smiling Moya who spreads so much joy is apparently not a fan of competition.

Trevor revealed that Moya had called him and asked him to change because he did not appreciate how similar they looked.

“He called me and was like bro you are copying me too much, doing everything I am doing from carrying the bag to the headband and hairstyle as well. And he was like, I need you to change and stop copying me,” Trevor said.

Trevor went onn to add that Moya insisted he changes adding that people will accept him the way he is.

“And then he told me I am doing his moves and dressing like him but I just did it as a TikTok challenge and people loved me. If they had not accepted me I would not be having such a huge following right now.

I have like over half a million followers on Tiktok and my Instagram following has grown as well.

So that means I have my fans and they differentiate us, though some do not.

That day was tough, he gave me a lecture to the extent of going ahead and threatening me that if I continued I might find my account missing,” Trevor revealed.

Trevor admitted that he knew that Tiktok is all about challenges so when he came to Nairobi and got encultured with it he decided why not try the song and dance in the streets since he really felt pity for the beggars.

“I was used to Tiktok as that is what happens as it is a challenge, I saw Moya doing the dance and I decided let me try this and go to the streets and try help the people I see in the streets,” Trevor said.

“You know he can not do all this on his own, he can not go around the whole country or whole world surprising everyone. He needs people to help him,” Trevor insisted trying to defend his choice of using Moya’s ‘content.’
