Legendary Nigerian artist, Eldee the Don snapped at Olu Maintain for performing his song, “Big Boy” on stage during his Manhattan tour on Monday.
Prior to this time, there was no hint of animosity between the two.
The artist took to his Instagram to express his grievances in a post he has since deleted.
“Big Boy” was the lead single off eLDee’s 2008 album of the same title. He featured Banky W, Olu Maintain and Oladele.
Elder voiced out after Olu Maintain uploaded snippets from his performance on Instagram and just as his friends began commenting than eLDee dropped the shocking comment.
The rapper inferred that Olu Maintain attempted to rip him off after he featured him on the track.
“This shameless nigga out on stages performing my songs like he created it. I still remember how he tried to steal the record after I put him on it, forcing me to put it out prematurely,” Eldee wrote in the post.
“Nigga ran off with the unmastered draft and went to print CDs with himself as the lead artist, even his verse was written by me #Appropriation #getyourownshit Lesson to young artist Don’t ever do pity features.”
“Big Boy” never had an official video, observers are saying this could be why they did not shoot a video for it.
