Nigerian rapper Oladips has publicly accused Wizkid of intellectual theft, alleging that Wizkid’s verse on Asake’s track “MMS” closely resembles lyrics from Oladips’ 2022 song “Ajala Traveller.”
Oladips has presented a screenshot comparison that points out the similarity between his line “I had to lose myself to find my purpose” and Wizkid’s line “Lost Myself, and I found my purpose.”
He has raised concerns about whether this is a case of “recycling or coincidence” and is urging Wizkid to respond to the allegations.
The accusation has ignited a lively debate among fans and music enthusiasts, prompting many to voice their opinions on social media.
