KCee lambastes Flavour
About two days after Flavour posted the tweet accusing a fellow artist of being a "copycat" without naming anyone, KCee responded directly on his X page, firing back with his own pointed remarks.
In a series of tweets, the Ojapiano crooner made it clear that he is not on the same level as his colleague and advised him to pick his battles well.
KCee noted that Flavour should stop gatekeeping Igbo culture, as he isn’t its sole custodian. He added that he was in the industry before Flavour and has no reason to apologise for creating music that celebrates his heritage.
