P-Square stole and sampled my song – Ghanaian musician says

A Ghanaian upcoming musician who goes by the name C-Jay has labeled the P-Square a thief. According to him, the song which launched the brothers back into the music scene after their clash belongs to him. He claims that the song which was originally titled "Rokoto" was stolen and sampled by the brothers, resulting in their new banger, "Bank Alert."

Word has it that the Ghanaian upcoming act posted his song on social media and tagged P-Square to it, only to be informed at a later time that his song has been adopted and refined by P-Square. Hmmm. Upon downloading and listening to P-Square's "Bank Alert," it came to his realization that the brothers actually stole his tune, and even used some of his lines. Speaking to vibesin5.com on the matter, C-Jay said:

"Stealing in a professional way, P-Square new tune 'Bank Alert' is a sample of my tune titled "Rokoto". I released Rokoto early this year. The tune went viral on social media, Facebook, Twitter, and the rest. I posted the link on P-Square's wall on Facebook. Months later, I got a tag from a female musician here in Ghana. She updated on Facebook that P-Square’s new tune ("Bank Alert'"sounds like C-Jay's Rokoto)."

This is where I came in the story. I quickly downloaded their tune to listen and it was very bad that they sampled almost everything in my Rokoto tune. From the bass line, the rhythm, the progression the grove and even took the first line of ma first verse (today na today ooo) from ma tune “Rokoto.” I respect P-Square a lot, I learn from them, never thought they could do this to a poor boy like me who has struggled for more than ten years been underground.”

“I wish my voice will reach as far as it can, so everyone will know I’m disappointed in them. Bank Alert is a nice song, I don’t doubt it. But they don’t have to do this to me as a whole. No disrespect, P-SQUARE SAMPLED MY SONG ROKOTO, AND I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THEM!"
