A recent controversy has erupted in the Nigerian music industry, pitting two prominent Igbo musicians against each other.
KCee, a renowned artist, took to social media to address fellow musician Flavour, who had subtly accused him of copying his style in his latest song release.
The drama began when fans noticed similarities between KCee's new track and Flavour's hit song "Doings." Flavour responded with a cryptic tweet, saying "Copy copy akaria" (meaning "too much copy copy"), without directly mentioning KCee's name. However, KCee took offense to the comment and fired back, emphasizing that the Igbo music style is not exclusive to any one artist and cannot be "gatekept."
In a series of impassioned tweets, KCee warned Flavour to "pick his battles carefully" and reminded him that they are "not on the same level." KCee asserted, "BRO!!!!!! We are not on the same level... Stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture. You're not a custodian. I've been in this game before you... It belongs to all." He further emphasized, "My music celebrates our heritage, and I won't apologize... People recognize authenticity."
KCee's response highlighted the importance of originality and influence in the music industry, sparking a heated debate among fans. He concluded his tweets by saying, "Spend your energy on success, not diminishing mine. I've never been the type to go head-to-head, but I'm calling out this bullshit because I won't be disrespected... No way... I've come too far for anyone to downplay my sweats and hard work. HELL NO!!!!"
