He explained, “Although my song ‘Holy Ghost’ has a fresh tone, I had intended to produce the entire album with this new sound. However, at some point during its creation, I altered course.”
An artist I had shared an idea with put out an album using my concept, causing me to re-record mine.
I agreed to collaborate with a beloved artist who approached me. During our discussion, I revealed my vision for the sound we aimed to create together. However, after five months had passed since our conversation, he released an album that contained precisely the same sound ideas as mine.
“I had to remake my album, which will undoubtedly go down in the annals of Afrobeats history as the greatest.”
