The part of the song was sampled not stolen. How do you know that Burns boy did not take permission to use that part in his song? If it was in quote stolen, I am sure Angelica Kidjo would have said something about it by now, after all she is still alive. Take a breather oga.

They have never seen eye to eye
And I made my research on copyright , this was downright plagiarised

In this present world of global connectivity, it is quite naive of you to think Angelica Kidjo has to see Burna boy eye to eye in other to raise issues with him concerning copyright matters.

You did not do any research. You probably saw someone mention the similarity somewhere online and decided to listen to the song yourself, that is all the research you did. You know nothing about what went on behind the making of the song, so I advice you stop trolling and find something better to do with your time.

Angelique Kidjo is part Yoruba from Benin Republic that lives in New York and has Fela as one of her major influences. She's already an iconic Afrobeat/ Afro-fusion queen that would possibly give encouragement to younger artistes just to advance the genre e.g. her work with Yemi Alade. Burna boy is part Yoruba raised in Southern Nigeria, next door to Benin Republic. He has a strong tie to Fela and he frequents U.S. and U.K. Presently, he is the most celebrated Afrobeat/Afrofusion artiste from Nigeria. What are the odds that Angelique and Burna have met and talked music? If Angelique would encourage Yemi Alade (another part Yoruba), then why not Burna? If speaking Yoruba, or singing afrobeat or being West African or being prodigiously talented or spending time in U.S. are the commonalities that gives younger artistes access to Angelique, i think Burna's got it all.Until Angelique speak up about Burna plagiarizing her work, I won't hold brief for her.
