WAHALA!!!! Singer Timaya Accused Of Song Theft

Popular Nigerian singer Timaya is facing accusations of song theft from a cultural music group called United Boys Culture of Etche in Rivers State.

In a video posted on their TikTok page, the group’s leader claimed that Timaya’s latest song, ‘Dey Your Dey,’ sampled their song of the same title without permission.

The group appealed to Timaya to cease using their intellectual property, pointing out that the singer had previously sampled another of their songs, ‘As E Dey Sweet Us, E Dey Pain Dem,’ which had been trending since October last year.

In their words;

“I want to use this opportunity to call on our brother, Mr. Timaya. I am the leader of United Boys Culture of Etche, Rivers State. We are the original owners of the song, ‘Dey Your Dey.’”

“I want to plead with you, you know that the song has been trending since October last year. If you want to remix our song, you are supposed to seek our permission.”

“But you just went ahead to remake the song. That was how you remake ‘As E Dey Sweet Us, E Dey Pain Dem’ without our permission. Please, leave our songs. I am begging you, Mr. Timaya.”
