Music fans are divided over allegation that Tekno’s latest single ‘Jogodo’ bears similarities with ‘Kpolongo’ from veteran musicians, Mad Melon and Mountain Black, known collectively as Danfo Drivers.
While some fans argue that Danfo Drivers are seeking attention, others are questioning Tekno’s originality.
See their reactions as captured on Twitter below:
Mad melon and mountain black will do nothing to Tekno. They just needed attention and that’s all.
…also, if you’re out here claiming they should sue Tekno but told Modenine to go SIMA when Jay-Z used his line, just know you’re one reason Nigeria is what it is today.

King Sunny Ade called out Small Doctor and Davido for STEALING his lyrics and melody, Danfo Drivers just did the same to Tekno. VIP thanked Wizkid for sampling their song with permission. We love a respectable king.

Copyright infringement and they began man hunt?
Nigerians will leave road and start passing through bush.
Go to court and sue Tekno and not cry about blah blah.
In between, let me go jam to that Tekno’s jogodo 💃

Tekno hasn’t had a hit in a minute. He’ll get shows, streams and renewed relevance off this joint. Na, MMMMMMMMMG needs to pay up.

Many music artistes are going through what Tekno did to Danfo Drivers’ Jogodo, especially the young and thriving artistes. Davido did same to Teni till she took it up to claim the credits. Wizkid did it to Tolu of Allyhils Records.

In the days when Mad melon and Mountain Black were in their prime, they won’t have bothered to complain to anybody. They would have simply taken a contingent of Ajegunle Boys to go look for Tekno and collect their dough. He should count himself lucky.

Tekno said he’ll win Grammy someday. Enu o shey… He should go and ask 9ice how far.
