Nigerian singer Mr Real has dismissed claims by his colleague Idowest that he is the original creator of the hit street anthem Legbegbe.
The song, released in 2018 by Mr Real featuring Idowest, became a major street hit and played a key role in popularising the Shaku Shaku dance movement.
Tensions resurfaced after Idowest, during a livestream with streamer Carter Efe, alleged that he wrote the entire track and only invited Mr Real as a friend from the hood.
He said, “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.”
Prompt News reports in response, Mr Real refuted the claim in a video statement, insisting he remains the rightful owner of the song and accusing Idowest of dishonesty.

“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.
“I heard you were deported from America. Instead of you to promote your music, you are downgrading me and claiming my song, ‘Legbegbe.’ I won’t even waste my precious time on you,” he said.
