SalamRushdie:
I knew the Nigerian had to be the problem

Smh @ ur magnanimous narrow mind

Very Incoherent write-up, someone didn't pay for remunerations and it's on his album....shioor, pull down syndrome...Otapiapia plagiarised phyno's song, Lobatan.

The Igbo osu albino actually stole the song! Chai

SonOfAfonja:


Fvcktard, guess they're the reason why your father disowned you...

Why are you pained I said the truth.? I know u are just frustrated you haven't seen anyone to cheat today ...Fuckïng dishonest bunch

Very funny so The so called ''Remo'' is not aware that the song have been released for about a year now..

Waiting for official comment from Phyno team or PiaMia....Till then PiaMia is the thief

Eediot, go back to your masturbation

I am currently listening to the two songs and they sound very similar. I don't know who stole from who. But i certainly know there was THEFT involved.

SonOfAfonja:


Eediot, go back to your masturbation

You are just a frustrated conman who hasn't seen anyone to cheat for days now .I know all of you , even your mum is not safe from your dishonesty

OP did Pia Mia send you.. are they paying you to defend her? maybe pia mia joined nairaland to use and clear her name lmao

This story may be true and phyno needs to make official stamement on this. Americans dont joke with stuffs like this. Pia mia and Remo may come for phyno soon. It's very rare for a known producer selling the same beat for two established artistes. This may ruin pia mia's career if they dont address it quickly.

leofab:
So who is lying ?

Na me, LOL

Phyno own make sense pass her own sef

chronique:
So in other words, Pia Mia actually owns the song and Phyno used it without proper clearance from the real owner. Or how do we explain having a song you got from someone else but couldn't reach an agreement on royalties and other stuffs, on your album? If anyone is to be sued here, it would be Phyno.

Loot at the way you believed him? Remo didn't say anything when Phyno recorded and made money but after Oyibo he come dey talk. That guy wants to twist our brain and trust Nigerians to believe him without second guessing him.
Pia Mia abi Akpa amu is a thief.

Like you're all not pulling her down too. I by chance, the producer double-crossed Phyno, how then is that Pia Mia's fault?

This is the biggest pile of thrash I've read this month. The excuses conjured up here has zero logic.
We all know how easy it is for Americans to sue for any slight infringement. And you think an American will stay quiet after you 'steal' his song?
From the nonsense written up here, Phyno's not the owner of the song but he had the sheer guts to not only release the song but also include it in his album. You think Phyno doesn't understand the technicalities and repercussions of stealing someone's property??

I remember a certain time when Eminem and 50 cent did a collabo - "Crack A Bottle". 50 cent wanted to include the song on his album but Eminem practically warned him not to. Why? It was Eminem's song. And 50 Cent didnt.
And for some reason, you're telling us Phyno included the song in his album after clearance and rights whatever were not agreed.

Bros, I say you Lie

There's only one thief and that's that Pia and her squad, and they should be sued!!

Nobody will come after Phyno. He'll be the one to go after them for plagiarism or whatever they call this one.

Well who actually wrote the song ? Was remo aware of phyno using his property even after their deal broke down ? But still who owns the song? Shiii crazy

I knew it, na Nigerian artiste go steal that song.

Did south koreans storm wizkid's pge when he stole se7en's tune for his holla at your boys track

The true story about the controversial ‘I’m a fan’ song


Did an American singer steal Phyno’s song which has been released in Nigeria? Here’s the full story about the record.



The entire Nigeria is up in arms about a perceived theft of Phyno’s song by an American singer named Pia Mia.

The record in quote is a song named ‘I’m a fan’ which was released by Phyno in 2016 as part of his “The Playmaker” album. Phyno’s version featured Mr Eazi, and another relative newcomer, Decarlo. The song which is an urban Carrribean fusion, has not been made a single by the Nigerian rapper, but it is one of the critically loved records on the project.

The song was produced by Benjamz.


On May 26, 2017, American singer and songwriter, Pia Mia, released a version of the song which featured singer Jeremih. The similarities between hers and Phyno were present from the start. Pia Mia employs the same song title (I’m a fan’), extremely similar production, chorus, and verse.


On basic inspection, they are the same song, but Pia Mia’s version was produced by Remo the Hitmaker.


The basic crowd mentality with singles in Nigeria is that whoever releases it first owns the song, and very other version is a copy. And that’s what’s been happening. Pia Mia has been dragged across Nigerian social media as a thief, with fans and music enthusiasts accusing her of blatant theft.


But here’s the story. Pia Mia did not steal any song. She didn’t take Phyno’s record, neither did she appropriate the music. The true story is way beyond her.



The story of ‘I’m a fan’ single began from Phyno, Jeremih and producer Remo. According to verified sources close to Phyno’s camp, the rapper was working on incorporating Island-ready production on his sophomore album to tap into the international market. He was in talks with Remo, who sent him the song to work with.


“The guy sent the song to us, and we wanted to work together, but something happened and we couldn’t use it,” our source tells Pulse.

Due to issues regarding remuneration, clearances and demands, Phyno and Remo did not work together. But Phyno liked the idea of the sound, so he sought the help of producer Benjamz, who reconstructed the single, and brought on Mr Eazi and Decarlo to collaborate and release the record.

Remo, who had totally abandoned the Phyno project, still has his music, and so when Pia Mia tapped him and Jeremih for a new record, they had this one ready-made for her to record and release.

These things are not uncommon. In 2014, Phyno’s ‘Authe’ record featuring Flavour, and DJ Spinall’s ‘Gba gbe’ featuring Burna Boy possessed similar melody and lyrics in the choruses. But it was also a recording misunderstanding which was never taken to court. Both Burna Boy and Flavour had worked on a song, which was never finished. So they supplied it to other people.

So Pia Mia, did not steal a Nigerian song. Phyno and Remo had a misunderstanding, and the music has been duplicated [by its real owner Remo]

Would any action be taken?

According to our source, no official communication has been passed between Phyno and his team, hence at the moment, there is no official response. Pia Mia has not responded too. The singer has chosen to focus on promoting her new single, which is receiving initial positive reviews.

What happened to your sense. So Phyno's Authe and Burna boy's gba GBE have same melody and lyrics in their choruses..... Hmmm.....Well I have no choice than to pray 4 u Receive sense b4 sunset....

that is exactly what happened. Nigerians would plagiarize bollywood, hollywood, american songs, indian songs, korean songs e.t.c

mcheeww, ds op is a learner,doesn't knw how to cover up at all

fvck haters. to hell with pple accused my baby girl "Pia Mia" How could mia pia copy our own boy phyno's song. always think twice before you make decision. who is more recognise between PHYNO and PIA MIA. sorry to haters.

Wow! How come no one has figured that this could be a publicity stunt to promote the Pia girl artiste and her single? It is revealed in the write-up that there is a connection between Phyno and the girl. And Phyno is not out claiming infringement. This could very likely be a publicity stunt. After all no publicity is bad publicity.

I had the same thought before he posted dis. Burma Boy sounds
like:
See this girl she finer
She carry round and round she winer
Everythin she wear designer
She carry round and round she winer
I ma na nwata bu Authe, o bu Authe, O bu Authe…ahhh
Nwata bu Authe, o bu Authe, O bu Authe….ahhhh..

SMH! Phyno was looking for international recognition. Do you think it's easy
