Kcee appeared to have fired back at fellow singer Flavour for allegedly insinuating that he copied his music style.
Copy copy akaria,’ Flavour had written via X without mentioning names.
Flavour’s subtle dig on Sunday sparked controversy, with many assuming Kcee was the target.
This was due to Kcee’s recent single mirroring Flavour’s signature sound.
Copy copy akaria 🤦🏾♂️

Kcee responded with a series of intense posts, describing the tweet as “disrespectful” to his hard work and sweat.
He argued that no one has exclusive rights to the style, which celebrates Igbo culture and heritage.
He emphasized that his music authentically represents his heritage and refused to apologize for using the style.
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 apologize. In an ocean of things that matter. You’re like a needle. Get that right, he wrote.
People recognize authenticity. I’ll continue celebrating our culture unapologetically. Spend your energy on success, not diminishing mine.
I’ve never been the type to go head-to-head, but I’m calling out this bullshit because I won’t be disrespected. No way. I’ve come too far for anyone to downplay my sweats and hard work.
