Just In! Davido Accused Of Stealing Lyrics From Usher’s Song (video) by pattpatty(f): 7:01pm On Feb 06, 2018
The lyrical content of the trending DMW song, Mind, has been the cause of a huge conversation about the hook of the song, taken by Davido, being a copy of Usher Raymond’s 2004 hit single, Caught Up.
The controversy causing line is the, “and I’m so caught up /You got me feeling it, caught up,” which has now become popular and appreciated until the attention of Nigerians were drawn to Usher’s 2004 hit single which seems to carry the original line that Davido has been accused of borrowing, or is it stealing from.
DMW released the song, Mind, on January 31st, 2018 and it has the vocal input of Davido, Mayorkun , Dremo, Peruzzi and the music production contribution of Fresh VDM. The song is fast becoming a popular song, receiving good amount of airplay but now that the issue of copied lyrics has been raised, we wait to see how Nigerians would react to the song.

I don't know why people keep attacking Davido because of lyrics...

That he you used Usher's hook in his song does that mean that he stole it?

One thing people don't understand about the entertainment industry, is that people can reuse other people's contents as long as they're not violating the owners copyright policy.

Have you listened to Sugar Boy's "Hola Hola" & Wiz Khalifa's "We dem boys"?

Or Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" and Marvin Gaye's "Let Get It On"

Or "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga and Express "Yourself"by Madonna

Or even "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke and "Got to Give It Up" by Marvin Gaye

There are many musicians who recycle old songs without violating their copyright while some other violate em.

So it's no big deal. It just shows that the person is talented. Do you think it's easy to get the rhythm of an old song & fuse it into a new one & still vibe with it?

As long as Davido didn't violate Usher's copyright, it's all good... but if he did, then it's Usher's choice to either press charges or ignore it.
