The dispute began when Flavour tweeted a cryptic but pointed message, saying, “Copy copy akaria 🤦🏾‍♂️,” suggesting that Kcee may have copied elements from one of his music videos.

The argument intensified within the hour as Kcee continued his defense, tweeting, “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.”
