Nigerian singer, JAYWON has claimed that both Nigerian gospel and Afrobeats artists are copying the template of his 2012 hit song, ‘This Year.’

JAYWON, who made the claim while slamming Billboard for excluding the song from its Best Afrobeats Songs of All-Time list, argued that no song on the list has more cultural impact than his hit song, ‘This Year.’

Recall that African Queen’ by 2Face topped Billboard’s recently released Top 50 Best Afrobeats Songs of All-Time list.

WIZKID’S ‘Ojuelegba’, FLAVOUR’S ‘Nwa Baby’, REMA’S ‘Calm Down’ and CKAY’S‘Love Nwantiti’ complete the top 5.
