Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene has firmly addressed longstanding accusations of song theft, categorically denying that he “steals” music from other artists. During a recent interview, Eugene explained that his creative process involves drawing inspiration from various sources, a common practice in the music industry. He highlighted that sampling or borrowing elements from songs is a normal way musicians build on existing art, naming global icons like Michael Jackson and African stars like Davido and Wizkid who have similarly incorporated influences from other artists into their work.
Eugene expressed frustration over the scrutiny he faces, stating that he often feels singled out when other artists don’t receive the same level of criticism for similar practices. He emphasized that his management team ensures all legal requirements are met, especially when it comes to securing the rights for any borrowed elements in his songs.
Kuami Eugene remains dedicated to maintaining originality in his music while acknowledging that inspiration is drawn from various places. His defense underscores the evolving nature of music creation, which thrives on collaboration and influence.
