I know most people will say that I am a Wizkid hater, but his latest song "One for me" AKA "Dirty Wine" has been on replay on my phone for hours now. That's to tell you that it's such a work of art.

Wizkid actually stole a line from "Kiss from a rose" by Seal. That song was first released by Seal in 1994. The song was re-released in 1995 and was included in Batman Forever film soundtrack. (Wikipedia).

Wizkid kept repeating "... You are a kiss from a rose" in that his latest song, "One For Me".

That song by Seal was such a hit that it won awards for Record of the Year , Song of the Year , and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards. Yeah, it was quite phenomenal.

Original writer:
Bro, this isn't news. Davido copied one of Lagbaja's hit songs in his song IF. Wizkid used Fela's style and some of his lyrics in his song Sweet Love. Tekno did the same thing in his last single Samantha.

That doesn't make them fake artists. One thing you have to understand is that songs these days are just a remodelled version of most classic tracks.

Like someone above me said, Jay Z did the same thing too so Bruh, this isn't news.

He stole a line? I am not a Wizkid fan but this is very lame. You should know about music first before opening a thread. This thread is totally useless and ignorant.

You think RCA records doesn't know this before allowing him to release the song? OP sense fall on you

Virtually all hits songs nowadays sampled a old school song let me mention a few...

DJ Khalid's Wild Thoughts sampled Maria Maria By Calos Santana 1999

Drake Teenage Fever sampled If you had my loving by Jennifer Lopez 1998

End Sheeran's Shape of you sampled No Scrubbs by TLC 1999

Future's Mask Off sampled Prison Song by Tommy Butler 1976

All the tracks on Jay'z new album was a samples from Nina Simone’s 1966 track “Four Women” on “The Story of O.J.” to Sister Nancy’s dancehall classic “Bam Bam” on “Bam” featuring Damian Marley and Donny Hathaway’s “Some Day We’ll All Be Free” on “Legacy.”
He also uses so many other artists lyrics on the album.

Nairalanders free your mind from hate, focus on your life and leave Wizkid alone.

FOCUS ON YOUR LIFE BRO.
