Nigerian singers have been accused in the past of stealing concepts from American singers when making their music and it appears the table has turned as American singer, Pia Mia has been heavily accused and chastised on social media for stealing Phyno’s song.
Pia Mia’s song ‘I’m a Fan‘ is similar to a 2016 song of same title, a song by Nigeria’s Phyno, Mr Eazi, and DeCarlo.
A quick check of both songs shows that Pia’s version carries the same hook, same melody with altered lyrics, and that’s not counting the fact that is shares the same title with the song dropped in 2016 by Phyno, Mr Eazi and DeCarlo.
Phyno has reacted to the current controversy. In his words… “U will hear from me and my team at the right time…” Who that was directed to wasn’t stated in the tweet, but he is either talking to Pia Mia, Jeremih or producer Remo who supposedly worked on the beat with him for the allegedly stolen song.
Listen to Pia Mia and Jeremih’s version…
