Be that as it may, Mr. Ige accused Davido and another Nigerian singer, Small Doctor of stealing Sunny Ade’s lyrics. He squealed that the duo used Sunny Ade’s lyrics without seeking his permission.

Ige divulged that… “They use English language to speak Yoruba. Like the young man who sang ‘makole marale.’ How do you build house before buying a land?” he asked. Many of them don’t give credit to the original composer of the song they adopt. They just sing it without seeking permission. That’s a copyright infringement. It’s not done in developed societies.”

“Till today, Small Doctor didn’t get our permission before and after singing ‘ijó tí m’ojó l’àná, tí wọn n’pariwo, oni nkọ, ola nkọ.’ And many of them are guilty of this.”

“That Davido used Sunny’s lyrics in his song didn’t even get it right and that’s because he didn’t ask for permission. If he did, we would have corrected him. What is ‘Kuluso ewe, agbagba ewe?’ The line is actually ‘Seleru agbo, agbara agbo’. I know because I co-wrote the song!”
