Seyi Shay who is currently in Jamaica went on a TV show to say that ‘One Dance’ is not Drake’s song.
According to the singer, Wizkid originally wrote the song and it was produced by Nigeria’s Legendary Beats. She then added that the Canadian rapper stripped much of the lyrics and used the rhythm for the smash hit single ‘One Dance’.
It is unclear how Seyi Shay came upon this information and if she was permitted to say such on international TV.
However, she is not the first to accuse Drake of ripping off Wizkid.
Recall that rapper Wale went on a radio show to also say that Drake ‘sounds like Wizkid’ on the hit track Controlla off the new album ‘Views’.
“The lyrics, everything,” Wale clarified. “That’s my opinion. [Drake] is a phenomenal writer, performer, but I just feel like he sounds like Wizkid in Controlla.
“I do feel like [Wizkid] has a lot of influence on Controlla,” Wale continued. He cited lyrics from the track, like “take my money/have my money”, which he insists is totally Wizkid.
“That’s big-talk Nigeria,” Wale concluded.
