An upcoming singer named Olowu Taiwo better known as LT has accused Olamide Baddo of stealing his own dance ‘Yobo dance’ and renaming it to his own ‘Shakitibobo‘.
LT said his friend told Olamide’s crew about the ‘Yobo’ dance and Olamide reworked on it and turned it into his own.
LT told HipTv that “After I did my video, a friend of mine told me the dance I did in the video (Yobo dance) was trending on Instagram by Olamide. And my friend told me he had already told someone who is in Olamide’s crew about the dance.I released the audio version of my own song on 22nd April, 2015, and Olamide released his own song on 2nd May”
He also said “During that time, I was working on my viral video which I released on 6th May. It wasn’t up to 24 hours after that, I saw ‘Shakiti Bobo.’ I was like, what’s going on; why is this happening at this particular time.
“I’m not here to point fingers that someone stole my dance moves, but I feel it’s not cool for you to do something that you knew about from someone else, and pick it up as your own” he concluded.
According to research, before Olamide released his ‘Shakitibobo’ dance, LT posted a photo of his dance on Instagram.
As at the time of filing this report, Olamide is yet to release an official statement on this issue.
