Jazzman Olofin calls out Adekunle Gold for sampling his song

Veteran musician Jazzman Olofin has publicly called out Afropop star Adekunle Gold for allegedly sampling his classic hit “Raise Da Roof” during a London concert.

Jazzman, in a playful but pointed Instagram post, questioned why AG Baby rehearsed and performed the 22-year-old hit with a full live band without reaching out to him first.

“HA!!! WETIN DEY HAPPUN FOR HERE? LOL. I’ve got no issue with an artiste freestyling another artist’s song on stage for a second as a sign of respect. It’s cool,” he wrote.

“BUT when you go through a great length to actually rehearse my 22-year-old monster hit song with your one million man live band… haba.”

The singer made it clear he may not be as active in the new-school soundscape, but he’s very much alive — and very open to being compensated.

“I may be a little too old to be singing your generation’s music, but I’m certainly not too old to spend your generation’s money. Mr @adekunlegold, I’m still actively performing. Don’t beat around the bush. Next time, call baba,” he added.
