Recently, a popular social media influencer known as Kusssman sparked outrage after accusing Nigerian music superstar Davido and his newly signed artist Logos Olori of sampling a song without permission or paying royalties.
The song in question is titled “Ahead Ahead,” and it is allegedly the intellectual property of Kusssman’s artist Shallipopi.
Kusssman made the accusations on Twitter, sharing video clips of Shallipopi singing his song “Ahead Ahead” while comparing it to another video of Davido and Logos Olori performing a track together, which he claimed was inspired by his artist’s work.
The media personality went on to criticize Davido and Logos Olori, saying that sampling without proper permission or compensation is unacceptable and disrespectful to the original creators of the music.
The allegation has since sparked heated debate among Nigerian music fans, with many taking sides.
Some fans have backed Kusssman and Shallipopi, while others have defended Davido and Logos Olori, claiming that sampling is common in the music industry.
It is unclear whether Kusssman intends to sue Davido and Logos Olori, but the accusations have certainly caused a stir in the music industry.
Meanwhile, the issue of copyright infringement and intellectual property rights has long been a source of contention in the Nigerian music industry, and this latest incident is certain to fuel the fire.
