During the show, D’banj reflected on how Kayswitch, born Kehinde Oyebanjo, inspired ‘Face Show’, his latest song.
“My creativity comes so natural. Let me tell you about how I recorded ‘Face Show‘…I was in Abuja before I got the Nigerian Idol gig and my younger brother Kayswitch said one line, and I loved it,” he said.
“He said ‘your face show’. When he sees me doing something, he will repeat the line and I grabbed that…he inspired it (Face Show).”
Recall that Jaywon and his artist, Hardvantage had called out D’banj over the song, claiming that the Koko master made the use of the slang without permission.
Hardvantage who is signed to Jaywon’s Next World Label dropped a song called “Your Face Show” in February.
The song has the lyrics “Your Face Show, Your Shoe Shine” in it.
Surprisingly, D’banj recently released a song titled “Face Show” which also has the same lyrics.
Jaywon at first took to his Instagram story to call D’banj over the infringement revealing that the “Oliver Twist” crooner had tried to get them to remove Hardvantae from streaming platforms but they declined.
Hardvantage also took to Instgram to shed more light on the issue, revealing that D’banj’s management called him in April telling him to remove the song from streaming platforms.
The Hypeman stated that he refused because he and his team has already spent a lot trying to promote the song.
