Nigerian singer Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, who is also known as Blackface, has accused Olamide, the YBNL boss and his signee, Asake, of stealing his songs.
Speaking in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, the former Plantashun Boiz member said Olamide, borrowed elements from several of his songs during his career, specifically citing the similarity between his song “Killa” and Olamide’s “Don’t Stop.”
“Olamide and Asake steal songs. Olamide has stolen many songs in his career. He jacked ‘Don’t Stop’ from me my song ‘Killa’
Additionally, Blackface accused Wizkid and Burna Boy of taking inspiration from his song “Twist & Turn” for their collaborative hit “Ginger.” He emphasized that not only were his lyrics taken, but the sounds he created were also replicated by other artists.
Blackface did mention that he doesn’t mind writing songs for Nigerian artistes, including Davido, if approached appropriately.
He also expressed his desire to collaborate with Tiwa Savage, though he stated that he has been unsuccessful in getting a response from her over the years.
