Popular Nigerian singer, Segun Akinlolu, popularly known as Beautiful Nubia, has expressed outrage and called out renowned gospel musician, Yinka Ayefele over alleged melody theft.
Beauty Nubia accused Ayefele, and one other artiste identified as BBO of copying the melody of his original song, “Seven Lifes.”
He made the allegation in a post on his X handle, formerly Twitter on Thursday February 19th, 2026.
He wrote; “There was Yinka Ayefele with ‘My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti)’ in 2012 and now someone called BBO with ‘Amin’ this year. Both stole their melodies from our original song ‘Seven Lifes’.”
“When will Nigerians, especially the so-called gospel musicians, learn to respect copyright?”
