DOUBLE WAHALA!! Burna Boy Accused Of Copying Fela Kuti’s Music And Should Pay Royalties To Fela’s Family (VIDEO)

Nigerian singer and songwriter Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, has been accused of copying and sampling the music of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, a legendary musician and activist who died in 1997.

Fela Kuti, often referred to as the “father of Afrobeat,” created a unique style of music that blended African rhythms, jazz, funk, and political commentary. His influence on Nigerian and global music is widely recognized, and his legacy is maintained by his family and fans.

Recently, a video compilation has surfaced on social media that compares some of Burna Boy’s songs with Fela Kuti’s songs, pointing out similarities in lyrics, melodies, and arrangements. The video, which has been viewed millions of times, suggests that Burna Boy has not only been inspired by Fela Kuti’s music but has also copied it verbatim in some cases.

Watch Video Below:

The video has sparked a debate among music fans and experts, with some defending Burna Boy’s right to be influenced by Fela Kuti’s music and to create his own version of Afrobeat.

Others argue that Burna Boy should acknowledge and pay homage to Fela Kuti’s legacy and family, especially if he has used his music without permission or attribution.

Some have also pointed out that Burna Boy has previously claimed to be a spiritual successor to Fela Kuti and has performed at the New Afrika Shrine, a music venue and cultural center dedicated to Fela Kuti’s memory.
