A Nigerian upcoming artist, Henry Knight, has called out Peter Okoye known by his stage name, Mr P, for allegedly stealing his song.
Henry, who took to his Instagram account to share a lengthy post said Mr p’s recent song, “Ebeano” was his 2015 single.
He expressed disappointment at Mr P and other big artists who were in the habit of using other people’s intellectual materials without crediting them.
The upcoming artist shared details of his songs; the release date as well as the producer’s name.
See his post below:
Everyday in the NigerianMusic Industry, most of the big artistes who never for once help you even when you reach out to them in growing times, tend to get away with ripping you off and making profit out of your property. Dear Peter okoye @peterpsquare I released a song called Ebano on the 8th of August 2015 with hard earned Money which was produced by TeeMode, You copied the hook of the song without any form of royalty that is required or any form of credit to me.. We have seen other cases, like when Davido credited Teni for “like that” it’s clearly true that You rise by lifting others.
Henry knight is not all about this drama, I had to do this, because this is not the first time something like this is happening ..
