Nigerian singer Kingsley Chinweike Okonkwo, known as Kcee, has responded to fellow artist Flavour’s recent allegations of copying his musical style.
Flavour, who did not specify anyone in particular, hinted online at being imitated by another musician.
In response, Kcee took to his X handle to assert that he and Flavour are not on the same level, advising him to “pick your battles carefully.”
He criticised Flavour for attempting to gatekeep Igbo cultural music, stating, “Bro, We are not on the same level. Pick your battles carefully.
“Stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture. You’re not a Custodian.
“I’ve been in this game before you
“It belongs to all.
“You don’t own this genre of music.
“My music celebrates our heritage, and I won’t apologise.
“In an ocean of things that matter. You’re like a needle.
“Get that right
“People recognise authenticity. I’ll continue celebrating our culture unapologetically. Spend your energy on success, not diminishing mine,” he added.
