Popular Nigerian disc jockey, DJ Chicken, has accused Afrobeat singer Wizkid of copying his dance moves after the release of his new song, ‘Kese Dance’. According to DJ Chicken, the dance move featured in Wizkid's song mirrors his own signature dance style, which he believes the singer had copied without crediting him.
The song, ‘Kese Dance’, which was recently dropped by Wizkid, has been well-received and has broken several records on major streaming platforms, including Spotify. However, DJ Chicken, in his statement, expressed his disappointment, claiming that the dance pattern in the song closely resembles his own dance style, calling out the singer for stealing his creativity.
DJ Chicken also mentioned that Wizkid's career seems to be fading, and the singer is now trying to latch onto the success of newer trends like his dance moves to stay relevant in the industry. "The kese dance keh awon efonu dey play. Them mmu celebrity wey there time don go wan copy my pattern my dance everywhere," DJ Chicken said in a post on social media.
The statement has stirred a wave of reactions from fans and observers. Here’s a glance at some of the reactions that followed:
