jiggaz: So its now news in Ghana dat Nigerian artistes have been stealing Ghanaian songs & style and making it their own? Lmaoo!! I laugh in Spanish. U people should keep deluding yourselves over there. I wonder why dis didnt come up before. Nigerians dat even doesnt know anything abt Ghanaian music until last year all thanx to Sarkodie's U go kill me. Even up till now its only Sarkodie and R2Bees dat people know in Naija. So how were our artistes copying people dat they dont even know? And to talk of copying, R2Bees have been copying Nigerian style of music dat they even said in an interview i read abt them online & i quote ''We will be doing Nigerian kind of music since it is what is selling in Ghana and Africa. We wont be doing Hiplife since it doesnt sell outside Ghana''. So tell me how Nigerians are copying people dat wants our own style of music? The music we do in Nigeria is called Naija dance music or Afro-pop not Hiplife. Hiplife is for u Ghanaians. I wont argue with u people again cos its an open secret dat some Ghanaians especially ur artistes doesnt like Nigerians cos we are taking their shine even in Ghana. They hate us but yet, they wanna be like us. But its all good cos d average Nigerian doesnt give a damn what Ghanaians think abt dem, datz why they said we are arrogant. Besides, I.K is a very good presenter but his music background is not sound, his Show on Rhythm 93.7 Fm ''Dance Party'' is kinda boring cos his playlist is poor. He doesnt know good music. So dont take him serious. Mind u, Iyanya's style of music now is called Naija dance music or Afro-pop. The style u see in his Kukere video and others is called ETIGHI, his native Cross River dance.

^ True talk bro, they are forever copying

@ 1st bolded
Yes, it has always been the news in Ghana that Nigerian artists shamelessly copy Ghanaian artistes and making it their own, and the evidence is clear. Compare the 2 songs posted above, and tell me what Flavor did is not copying I guess you heard the song, loved it, and didn't even know he copied a Ghanaian artiste who you don't even know. Flavor didn't just copy the beats, he also shamelessly lifted some of the English lyrics and you are here talking rubbish

@ 2nd bolded,
That is very infantile of you! So because you personally don't know Ghanaian artistes means your so-called musicians don't know them Well, they have known them since time immemorial and have been shamelessly copying them since

Kajina:

It's a sis LOL!

Copying is big business in Naija. SHAMELESS COPYCATS

jiggaz: Oh since its news in Ghana dat our Naija artistes have been supposedly copying ur artistes, then u people should go and die!! If e pain una reach like dat, mae una go dive enter Lagoon. Plz when next Flavour comes to Ghana, arrest him and sue him to ur Federal High Court!! Or better still International Court of Justice. U people are here killing yourselves over artistes dat doesnt even know u people exist. I wont argue with u guys again since dis matter don turn to child's play.

Fussbot: tell him bro..I didn't reply him again cus dis bro clearly doesn't undastand wat we talking bout..like we no dey do music b4 azonto come..he's jst using dat hiplife/ hipdie thingy 2 make up a baseless fact..

Kajina:

So now that you know, go tell your artistes to be original and stop copying and deceiving Nigerians FYI, when Flavor plagiarized Wutah, they came out accusing him of stealing their song, but instead of Nigerians condemning Flavor, you guys shamelessly created a thread here on Nairaland casting all kinds of insults on Wutah SMH!!!

jiggaz: Dream on sister. Nigerians obsessed with Ghanaians? In your dreams!! . Obsessed ko, obsessed ni. Those ppl in d ABS buses are not Nigerians, maybe they are Togolese, check well.

jiggaz: Know wetin? I dont know anything. Flavour didnt copy any artiste as far as i know, he's doin our highlife thingy. Maybe u missed d sarcasm in my post...

So speaking pidgin is copying. Ok for your information:
West African Pidgin English, also called Guinea Coast Creole English, was the lingua franca, or language of commerce, spoken along the West African coast during the period of the Atlantic slave trade. British slave merchants and local African traders developed this language in the coastal areas in order to facilitate their commercial exchanges, but it quickly spread up the river systems into the West African interior because of its value as a trade language among Africans of different tribes. Later in its history, this useful trading language was adopted as a native language by new communities of Africans and mixed-race people living in coastal slave trading bases such as James Island, Bunce Island, Elmina Castle, Cape Coast Castle and Anomabu.

Ghanaians have been speaking pidgin english from way back so who copied who?
Speaking of copying, it's no news that Nigerians have been copying Ghanaian artist for long. Stealing their beat and making their own song out of it:

Wutah-Katosa
