Ciara Finally Acknowledges Tiwa Savage For Inspiring Her New Song

Few hours after being called out for sampling a Tiwa Savage‘s song, American songstress, Ciara, has cleared the air on what most people thought was a song theft.

Ciara’s latest collaboration “Freak Me” featuring Tekno, was a sample of Tiwa’s 2015 record titled “Before Nko”. The resemblance in melody was called out by fans immediately the song dropped.

The singer however, cleared the air in her new tweet. See the tweet below.

Shout out to @TiwaSavage on the inspiration and sample used in #FreakMe! She’s a beast! I fell in love with the melody when I first heard it in Africa 3 years ago ????. So good. #AfroWave
