VDM further alleged that Wizkid music career was built on sampling existing songs, claiming that many of his early works were not entirely original.
According to the clip, he said:
“For you to say you’re bigger than Fela, you no even reach Femi or even the Seun sef when it comes to the art of music, because originality is not in you. You don see where these men the perform for stage?
No be the one sound dey play for background you go dey jump for stage, when your mouth no even dey follow wetin you dey perform.
We are old school people.
You started your career without originality. This is your first song Hala at your boy you sampled. The original one was in 2009 and yours was released in 2011. If them bring songs wey you sample e go full everywhere. You are bigger than which Fela…”
