Rapper Oladips accuses Wizkid of ‘stealing’ his lyrics

Nigerian rapper Oladips has accused Grammy-winning artist Wizkid of intellectual property theft.

The rapper claimed that Wizkid stole some of the lyrics from his song ‘Ajala Travel remix’ for his current duet with Asake, ‘MMS.’

Oladips posted screenshots of the lyrics from the two songs on his Instagram account.

A fan told him that sampling was “normal” but he insisted that it’s only when authorised.

He wrote, “It’s normal if you acknowledge the source! No be say dem go dey pretend like say dem no know you but come dey bite your lyrics for corner.”

Wizkid has yet to respond to the claims.
