Veteran Nigerian musician Baba Fryo has publicly accused rising artist Nasboi of stealing lyrics from his iconic hit “Denge Pose.” In a now-viral video, Fryo expressed his anger over the alleged theft, demanding proper credit and compensation for his work. The controversy erupted after Nasboi released his new track “Short Skirt,” which Fryo claims contains his famous line, “Dengo dey denge Denge,” without permission.
Speaking in pidgin English, Fryo issued a stern warning to Nasboi, insisting that the young artist contact him before things escalate further. “Nigerians, I greet una. This thing don dey happen e don tey. And I was not happy with it. But now I want to take action,” Fryo stated. “Anybody wey know Nasboi should tell him to reach out to me before water go pass geri.”
The veteran artist made it clear that he won’t tolerate any more unauthorized use of his work, vowing that this incident would be the last time someone exploits his music without proper acknowledgment. Fryo’s strong words have ignited a heated debate within the music industry, as fans and artists alike weigh in on the issue of intellectual property rights and respect for veteran musicians.
