Former Nigerian folk singer Gorgeous Nubia has publicly accused gospel musicians Yinka Ayefele and snappily-rising act BBO of unlawfully the usage of the melody of his traditional music “Seven Lifes” without permission or credit.
The accusation, made through his X fable on Thursday, names Ayefele’s 2012 notice “My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti)” and BBO’s 2026 single “Amin” as having lifted core arrangement of the melody from Gorgeous Nubia’s fashioned work.
In his publish, Gorgeous Nubia wrote:
“There used to be Yinka Ayefele with ‘My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti)’ in 2012 and now any individual known as BBO with ‘Amin’ this year. Each and each stole their melodies from our fashioned music ‘Seven Lifes’. When will Nigerians (especially the so-known as gospel musicians) study to admire copyright?”
The criticism has sparked reactions online, with some customers backing the musician’s stance and calling for correct motion, whereas neither Ayefele nor BBO has issued an reputable response on the time of this listing.
This dispute adds to ongoing concerns about intellectual property and copyright admire within Nigeria’s gospel music community.
