A resurfaced interview featuring Nigerian singer Seyi Shay has set the music industry abuzz with controversy. In the interview, which emerged online on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, Seyi Shay acknowledged Wizkid’s pivotal role in globalizing Afrobeats and dropped a bombshell regarding Drake’s hit track, One Dance.
According to Seyi Shay, One Dance originally belonged to Wizkid. She claimed that Wizkid had written and recorded the song, produced by Legendary Beatz, prior to Drake’s involvement. Seyi Shay’s assertion challenges the widely held belief that Drake was the sole creator of the chart-topping track, suggesting that Wizkid’s influence was significant.
This revelation has reignited a previous controversy sparked by British DJ Cliq Buzz, who had previously minimized Wizkid’s achievements, attributing his success to Drake’s feature on One Dance.
Seyi Shay’s statements have ignited a fierce debate among music enthusiasts, with some rallying behind Wizkid’s contribution to the song’s success, while others defend Drake’s role in its remix and subsequent chart-topping status.
