The dispute began when a video posted on TikTok by @missasakee showed her dancing to the famous tune, sparking a lively discussion in the comment section.

Nigerians claimed credit for popularising the song, arguing that their dance challenges and social media trends played a significant role in its international recognition. They argued that the song transcended borders largely due to Nigerian influencers and content creators who embraced it.

On the other hand, Ghanaians asserted that the song belongs to Ghana, as it was created by Patapaa, a Ghanaian artiste. They pointed to the fact that the Twi lyrics and the artiste behind the hit were unmistakably Ghanaian, and this should be the primary basis for ownership.

Ghanaians clash with Nigerians over West Ham video

In a similar story, West Ham United made a promotional video hyping Mohammed Kudus and used Burna Boy's City Boy song in the background.

The song choice did not sit well with a lot of Ghanaians, who complained about West Ham using a Nigerian song instead of a Ghanaian one.

Nigerians in the comment section trolled Ghanaians, suggesting that Nigerian music was far ahead of Ghanaian music, so it was normal for the club to use a Naija tune.
