Public Feud Erupts: KCee Hits Back at Flavour’s Accusations
Written by MAX FM on October 29, 2024
A public feud has erupted between Nigerian musicians KCee and Flavour after KCee dropped a new song that many say sounds similar to Flavour’s hit, Doings.
The controversy kicked off when Flavour posted a cryptic message on his X page, suggesting that KCee was imitating his style. He wrote, ‘Copy copy akaria,’ without directly mentioning KCee’s name.
KCee quickly took offence and responded passionately on his own X page. He emphasized that Igbo music does not belong solely to Flavour and warned him to ‘pick his battles carefully.’
KCee asserted that he had been in the music game long before Flavour’s rise to fame. ‘I’ve been in this game before you,’ he declared. ‘You don’t own this genre. My music celebrates our culture, and I won’t apologize for that. Focus your energy on your success, not on undermining mine.’
He further cautioned Flavour against trying to ‘gatekeep’ Igbo culture, making it clear that it belongs to everyone, not just one artist.
This back-and-forth has ignited heated discussions among fans, with many weighing in on social media. As of now, Flavour has yet to respond to KCee’s comments.
As the situation unfolds, fans and industry observers are keen to see how these two music stars will settle their differences.
