Famous musician KCee recently called out fellow Igbo brother, Flavour for implying he was a “copycat” following the release of KCee’s latest song, rumored to sound like Flavour’s hit, Doings.
The drama kicked off when fans noted similarities between KCee’s new track and Flavour’s style, prompting Flavour to subtly address the matter on his Twitter, writing, “Copy copy akaria,” (meaning, too much copy copy) without mentioning names.
KCee responded directly on his X page, throwing strong shade back at Flavour in reaction to the indirect accusation.
KCee responded to Flavour’s comment by pointing out that the Igbo music style isn’t exclusive to any one artist and can’t be “gatekept.”
In a series of tweets, KCee warned Flavour to choose his battles wisely, adding that they are “not on the same level.”
This heated exchange has drawn considerable attention from fans, sparking debates about originality and influence in the industry.
“BRO!!!!!! We are not on the same level
Pick your Battles carefully.
Stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture. You’re not a Custodian.
I’ve been in this game before you
It belongs to all.
You dent own this genre of music.
My music celebrates our heritage, and I won’t apologize.
In an ocean of things that matter. You’re like a needle.
People recognize authenticity. I’ll continue celebrating our culture unapologetically.
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!!!!”
