For
the
first
time,
Kuami
Eugene
has
addressed
concern
about
sampling
other
artistes’
songs
for
his
fans.
According
to
the
former
Lynx
Entertainment
signee,
he
has
never
stolen
any
artist’s
song,
as
many
people
have
claimed
since
the
start
of
his
career.
Speaking
in
an
interview
he
noted
that
he
stated
that
he
draws
inspiration
from
other
musicians
and
sometimes
fuses
some
of
their
elements
into
his
song
and
that
doesn’t
mean
he
stole
a
song
from
the
person.
“I
don’t
‘steal’
music,
Every
artist
takes
influences
from
different
places”
Kuami
Eugene
said.
He
cited
Michael
Jackson
and
some
Nigerian
artistes
who
have
also
faced
such
backlash
from
the
public
for
allegedly
stealing
other
people’s
songs.
“There’s
nothing
wrong
with
taking
a
line
or
two
and
modifying
it
to
fit
my
style,”
he
stated
confidently.
“It’s
a
part
of
how
we
create
music,
and
it’s
something
that
professional
musicians
do
all
the
time.”
“I
feel
like
many
artists
can
get
away
with
it,
but
for
me,
it’s
like
every
time
I
release
a
hit
that
includes
a
line
reminiscent
of
another
artist’s
work,
I’m
criticized.
It’s
disheartening
because
I
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
making
my
music
original
while
drawing
inspiration.”
he
added.
He
reaffirmed
throughout
the
discussion
that
music
is
a
dynamic
art
form
that
depends
on
inspiration
and
teamwork.
“At
the
end
of
the
day,
we’re
all
trying
to
create
something
beautiful
that
resonates
with
our
audience,”
he
concluded.
