Nigerian Entertainment News: Tension Arises as Singer, Odumodublvck and Niphkeys Dispute Over Alleged Beat Theft
A fiery disagreement erupted online between a Nigerian singer and renowned music producer Niphkeys
The singer alleged that Niphkeys had recreated and sold a beat to popular artist Odumodublvck.
The accusation was shared on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
According to the singer, he had sent the beat to Niphkeys in November last year, hoping for feedback or a potential collaboration.
However, he later discovered that the identical beat was used in a song by Odumodublvck, which had allegedly been purchased from Niphkeys.
Frustrated by the incident, the singer publicly called out the producer, writing:
“Sent Niphkeys my bro’s song in November just to find out he remade the same beat for Odumodu. Why’s the music industry so cruel?”
In response, Niphkeys firmly denied the claims, stating that he had never opened or reviewed the singer’s message.
He wrote;
“If not that you are stupid, you will see I didn’t even open your message when you sent the song. It’s still showing sent. Stupid fool!”
Even though Niphkeys denied it, the singer kept insisting, claiming he deleted multiple tweets to hide his actions.
The singer posted,
“If you aren’t lying, you won’t have deleted over four tweets, Thiefkeys.”
To support his case, Niphkeys provided a screenshot that showed he bought the beat online.
The singer, however, ignored this and insisted that the producer had taken the beat from him.

@PapiTimi_: “Cmon bruhh no tweaking , no changes, just copy and paste. Even Shazam will find it hard differentiating both song. Talmabout “it’s a guitar sample from splice that you paid for”😏 Wetin man do man.”
@Trhymesz: “This sample is on splice, only folks who don’t understand production will think it’s a beat copy.”
@BiGTaiKun: “That’s a different beat to it. difference in your lyrics to his. What he Re-made like you said is authentic. I don’t see any cruel action being made.”
@Hybrid_Ola: “He said he did not open the message like we don’t know people off read receipt.”
@wene084: “I get that Nigerians like to play the victim card and channel their aggression towards anything that looks like an injustice, but that’s not the case here. It’s very possible for two producers to use the same sample, this is just a matter of sheer coincidence.”
@anthony_fedora: “Get a lawyer involved. If the song has already been produced, sue them for a payday. It’s intellectual property theft.”
@01uwadamilare: “Niphkeyz’s is commenting under the post and not quoting the post even as big as e is, that’s so respectful of him. Setting the record the straight. Splice is for everybody that is a music producer and you pay to use it.”
@realworyor: “The tone in question is on a public website.. anyone can get it. Most of you guys judge from emotions and not from facts… and that’s totally wrong!
