Diamond Platnumz has found himself in a rather weird and uncomfortable situation after he was accused of copying Davido’s song Fall. The song that he’s accused of copying is his latest tune, Eneka, that already has over a million views on Youtube.
If you listen to the two, you can spot some similarities in their beats, but the producer of the song, Lizer, has come out to make things clear stating that the two songs are of the same genres, but they are not the same, despite the allegations.
Speaking on AYO TV, the producer stated that what people don’t understand is that the two songs are Afro beats , but have some changes made to them to sound more up beat.
He said, “I’ve heard these reports and there is one thing people need to understand, the beat used in both songs is an afro-beat which has been fused with American styles like crunk and trap to make a modern Afro-beat that sounds a lot like Davido’s ‘Fall’, Selebobo’s music and Tekno’s music and aside from a few tweaks put in each song, the music basically sounds the same.”
He continued, “This is music and we all know every type of music has its own style, be it Zouk or be it reggae, the beats of these genres are similar. Even in Jazz the same case applies, there are some beats that have to be similar for it to be classified under jazz.
He ended by stating that he’s not concerned about what people have to say about the songs, what he’s most concerned about is if the Diamond’s song will be loved by people because the style used is different.
“I am not really concerned if people think the beats are similar or not, what I am more concerned with is whether people will love this different style of music, how it will perform in the charts and the reception. That is what I am concerned with,” he concluded.
