Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Damini Ogulu also known as Burna Boy, has been called out for allegedly copying the title and lyrics of an unknown artiste`s song.

The Grammy winner was alleged to have sampled ”˜Common Person` from an artiste known as MC Olopka who also gave his track the same title.

Burna

A PR specialist, Sakpo called out Burna and drew the attention of netizens to his discovery and shared a video on microblogging site, Twitter to backup his claim.

The clip he uploaded was a music video for MC Olokpa`s own version of the song which the African Giant was called out for sampling.

Sakpo tweeted; “So the common person supposed sample was a cover, it looked so convincing if we put Burna history with Sampling into consideration.

Other social media users joined in bashing Burna Boy for releasing a song that he allegedly copied and passed off as original.
