D’banj Speaks On Olamide Song Theft, Explains What Really Happened

Pop star, D’banj has explained the song theft allegation raised by his music producer DeeVee against rap star, Olamide.

DeeVee, in a series of tweets had claim that Olamide stole a line in his ‘Don’t Stop’ track from an unreleased D’banj song called ‘Shake It’.

On Tuesday, December 15, he said several musicians come to his house and listen to songs he is recording or recorded and get inspired by it.

“I didn’t know about the message from DeeVee but the truth is the truth. My house is open; I have songs you guys have not heard. I have songs that I’m about to release with producers you guys have asked me to work with. From time, anyone can come into my
studio and listen to our songs and not just Olamide can come in. To me, it’s not stealing, I see it as inspiration.

“This particular one, this is a line I have been saying for a long time. “shake it, don’t break it, it took your mama 9 months to make it” I actually heard it from Prince Aremo Oniru.
Even Baddo has played about it saying “baba if you no use this line I go use am o” but I said I go use am,” he said.

Speaking on his relationship with another Yoruba-lingo rapper, Reminisce, he described the rapper
as an artiste he likes for his zeal and hustle.

“Reminisce bad boy, o cover mi. Reminisce will be going on tour with me, Timaya will be on the tour, Olu maintain,” he said.
