Mr Real reacts as Idowest claims ownership of ‘Legbegbe’
Mr. Real Responds to Idowest’s Claim Over ‘Legbegbe’ Ownership
Nigerian singer Mr. Real has refuted claims made by fellow artist Idowest that he is the original owner of the hit song “Legbegbe.” Released in 2018, “Legbegbe” features Mr. Real alongside Idowest and gained popularity during the Shaku Shaku movement.
Mr. Real has previously expressed regret over featuring Idowest on the track, suggesting his solo performance could have propelled him further in his career.
In a recent livestream with popular streamer Carter Efe, Idowest dismissed Mr. Real’s statements, asserting that he is the true creator of the song. “I am the original owner of ‘Legbegbe.’ I composed the full song. I only featured Mr. Real on the track as my boy in the hood, but now he’s claiming the song. He is an old man; I will beat him up,” Idowest stated.
In a subsequent video response, Mr. Real maintained his position as the rightful owner of the song, characterizing Idowest’s comments as false.
He also accepted Idowest’s challenge to a public confrontation, stating, “Idowest, I heard everything you said at Carter Efe’s live. You said you will beat me in a match. I am your senior brother, and I will beat you.”
Further addressing Idowest, he added, “I heard you were deported from America. Instead of promoting your music, you are downgrading me and claiming my song, ‘Legbegbe.’ I won’t even waste my precious time on you.”
The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the two artists, with both parties remaining firm in their claims regarding the ownership of the popular track.
