Wizkid, Burna Boy and Asake gas been accused of intellectual property theft.
The accusation was made by veteran singer-songwriter and ex-member of the defunct Plantashun Boiz, Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, better known as Blackface.
Blackface spoke in a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos.
He gave examples of the stolen songs as: “Ginger’ by Wizkid and Burna [Boy] is [a sample of] my track ‘Twist & Turn’; the rhythms, the beat, how the melody starts and ends. Na only the verses dem change.”
Blackface also accused Asake of sampling his song ‘Ikebe Supa’ in ‘Joha.’
“Asake’s ‘Joha’ is [a sample of] my song ‘Ikebe Supa.’ I dey inspire them,” he said.
The veteran singer said he is not against young artists sampling his songs, but the manner in which they go about it without seeking his permission.
