Renowned Nigerian highlife musician, Chinedu Okoli, popularly known as Flavour, has stirred up social media buzz with a recent post that fans believe is aimed at fellow musician Kcee. The “Nabania” singer took to X (formerly Twitter) to subtly throw shade at an unnamed artist, accusing them of imitating his unique style.
“Copy copy akaria,” Flavour posted, hinting at someone he feels is mimicking his artistic expression.
Though Flavour didn’t drop any names, fans quickly concluded that his message was likely directed at Kcee, who recently shifted his sound from Afropop to highlife and Igbo cultural music. This transition aligns closely with Flavour’s musical style, which prominently features highlife and cultural themes that have endeared him to fans over the years.
Flavour’s post has sparked conversation among fans, with some defending Kcee’s style evolution and others aligning with Flavour’s sentiments, hinting that there’s only room for one true highlife king.
