Oladips Callls Out Wizkid For Stealing His Lyrics In Asake's Song
Nigerian rapper Oladips heated up the internet as he called out his senior colleague Wizkid in a viral social media post
Oladips, a well-known figure in the Nigerian rap scene, has recently made headlines by accusing Afrobeats superstar Wizkid of intellectual property theft. The controversy arose when Oladips claimed that Wizkid's verse on Asake's track "MMS" bore a striking resemblance to his own lyrics from the 2022 release "Ajala Traveller." This accusation has sparked a heated debate within the music industry and among fans, highlighting the fine line between inspiration and imitation in the creative process.
To bolster his claim, Oladips shared a screenshot comparison, drawing attention to the similarity between his lyric, "I had to lose myself to find my purpose," and Wizkid's line, "Lost Myself, and I found my purpose." The resemblance between these lines has led Oladips to question whether this was a mere coincidence or a case of artistic recycling. In a bold move, Oladips has publicly urged Wizkid to address the issue, seeking clarification and potentially an apology for what he perceives as a breach of creative integrity.

The allegation has ignited a passionate discourse among fans and music enthusiasts, with social media platforms serving as the battleground for diverse opinions. Supporters of Oladips argue that artists must respect each other's work and maintain originality, while Wizkid's defenders contend that the similarity could be coincidental, given the universal themes explored in music.
