Wizkid stole his smash hit, ‘Ojuelegba,’ from me – Blackface
The former 2face’s group mate made the
revelation during an exclusive chat with
Punchng’s Saturday Beats. He said: “If you
check properly, you would realise that Wizkid’s
hit, Ojuelegba, sounds exactly the same as the
track 13 on my dancehall album released as far
back as 2010.
You need to listen to that album to know what I
am talking about. The song is so similar that I
think it shouldn’t be that way. Well, in Killa, I
sang that “they tried to copy my melody,” and
the bloggers got a hint of the gist and put their
reports out.
What I said is the truth and I am going to get to
the root of this matter because I deserve
justice. The Ojuelegba song has made so much
revenue for Wizkid. I am not bothered about
that but I want the industry to be in a position
whereby people will understand that some of
the artistes and the songs they are cheering is
someone else’s efforts.
There was a time Wizkid followed me on twitter
and I told him that I don’t want him taking my
songs and that if he wants to do any of my
rhythm, he should let me know. I told him that
because I was just being a big brother to him.
I told him that our songs can’t be sounding so
similar and that if he wants anything, he should
let me know. But after some time, he
‘unfollowed’ me and it was shortly after then
that the Ojuelegba song was released. I don’t
have any problem with Wizkid or any other
person, all I am saying is that they shouldn’t be
tampering with my songs because those are my
properties.
Wizkid and I do different kinds of music and he
doesn’t have my type of skill. I don’t have a
problem with that. I am only bothered when
somebody takes my song and tries to turn it
around into theirs without giving me due credit.”
