Nigerian Artiste Accuses Jidenna of Copying His Style.

By -
Last week, social media was awash with reports of a rising Nigerian music star Accusing Nigerian American artiste Jidenna, of copying his fashion style.


It didn’t take long for Nigerians on social media, Twitter in particular to wonder who this person was. Val Obi , an upcoming singer stopped by NET TV to explain the rationale behind that statement.
Val Obil made further boasted that International music star, Jidenna, copied his style in an interview.
‘I was at Abraka, Delta State with two of my friends and composed a song called Isoko in 2015, I didn’t have the money to produce the song then, I then put out the artwork on Twitter and Whatsapp generated views online, I am sure Jidenna or his management saw it and took it from there.Fast forward to 2017, I noticed that Jidenna uploaded a photo on October 1 having striking similarities with what I wore, please tell me what is the difference? I really look up to Jidenna as a musician, but creativity should actually be acknowledged and that was why I had to speak out,’ Val Obil stated.
Despite the fact this particular photo of Jidenna has been out for nearly two years, Obi inistited that there’s no way he could have had that particular costume if he didn’t take it from him. He however declares that this was not a publicity stunt and just wants people to know the truth.

What's your take on this?...

Progress certainly needs to be made to reduce attacks - be they sexual assault or robbery - but as that doesn’t look likely any time soon, learning self-defence is a wise move for women of all ages.
