Nigerian singer Dammy Krane has stirred a fresh controversy online after releasing a new single that bears a strikingly similar title to Wizkid’s son, Boluwatife’s debut EP.
The move has sparked a wave of speculation and backlash among fans of both artistes, reigniting some old tensions.
Social media was set abuzz shortly after Dammy Krane shared snippets of the song on Instagram, with many accusing him of deliberately riding on Wizkid’s son’s publicity.
Some fans, however, defended the artiste, insisting the timing and title could merely be coincidental.
Industry watchers say Dammy Krane’s new track comes just days after Boluwatife’s Star Kid Vibes topped the Apple Music kids’ chart in Nigeria.
Observers believe the release may have been timed to leverage the young star’s trending buzz.
The controversy has reopened conversations about originality and branding in Nigeria’s music scene, where overlapping titles are common. Critics argue that artists should show more respect for creative distinction, especially when minors are involved.
As of press time, neither Wizkid nor his management has responded, while Dammy Krane remains unbothered, teasing the video release with the caption, “No beef, just vibes.”
