Royalties Dispute as Konga Seeks 60% Share From Burna Boy
Pecohub Veteran singer Konga has said he deserves 60 per cent of the earnings of Afrobeats star Burna Boy’s song ‘Update,’ claiming that the Grammy winner sampled him on the record without his permission.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Hits Don’t Lie podcast, Konga revealed that Burna Boy refused to reach out to him even after he called him out peacefully a few months ago.
He lamented that Burna Boy agreed to pay American singer Toni Braxton 60 per cent of the earnings from his 2022 smash hit ‘Last Last’ for sampling her song ‘He Wasn’t Man Enough’ but couldn’t do the same for him.
Konga noted that Burna Boy had also previously sampled his lyrics in the remix of ‘Sungba’ with Asake.
He said since Burna Boy refused his public request for the Grammy winner to remix his evergreen hit ‘Kabakaba’ with him, he has also decided to sample Burna Boy without permission.
