Kelly Hansome accuses Duncan Mighty of song theft
The Nigerian music industry is once again rocked by controversy as Kelly Hansome, a prominent music artist and producer, has come up with allegations against his colleague, Duncan Mighty, labelling him a song thief.
In a revelation on social media, Kelly Hansome revealed that Duncan Mighty had allegedly appropriated his song “OMENNEJI” and released it under the title “CRIME MATE.”
According to Hansome, he had featured Duncan Mighty on the track and entrusted him with the data to mix the song, only to find out later that Mighty had supposedly claimed the song as his own.
Expressing his disappointment, Hansome disclosed that, despite the betrayal, he proceeded to release his version of the song.
He, however, noted that Duncan Mighty had ignored his attempts at communication regarding the issue, leaving the matter unresolved.
Furthermore, Hansome pointed out a history of uncredited contributions, claiming that he had provided Duncan Mighty with his first production signature, “Wene Mighty,” and had been featured on the song “#AKONUCHE” without receiving proper acknowledgment.
He expressed his frustration with the situation, emphasising the impact of betrayal within the industry.
He also lamented the perceived motives behind Duncan Mighty’s actions, questioning whether they were driven by a desire for fame or other factors.
Despite the alleged betrayal, Kelly Hansome asserted that he would not succumb to negativity and would focus on his music career.
He hinted at the possibility of creating cover versions of Duncan Mighty’s major songs but ultimately decided against it, opting not to engage in retaliatory actions.
As of the time of this report, Duncan Mighty has not responded to the allegations levelled against him by Hansome.
Popular Nollywood actor, Deyemi Okanlawon has narrated how his limited social media presence hindered his growth in the entertainment industry.
The Yoruba actor made this known in his latest interview on the Echoo Room Podcast.
Speaking about the challenges he encountered early in his acting career, Deyemi said he was constantly rejected by producers following his limited social media presence despite his talent.
“Not having Instagram followers hindered me. I would tell myself, ‘I’m the guy who comes to kill himself on set. Why am I being judged by the number of followers I have?
“I said to myself, there is no point fighting it. There’s always going to be a new set of people who focus more on the brand than the craft. So I said let me start some brand-building.”

Popular Nollywood actor and producer Kevin Ikeduba said he would rather die than cast unqualified actors in exchange for sex.
The movie producer, who stated this in an interview on Hip TV’s Trending, emphasised his commitment to professionalism.
Expressing his frustration with the high rate of unprofessionalism in the industry, Ikeduba stated: “The movie industry is very big. What works for A, may not work for B.
“Kevin that people know, would rather die instead of giving a girl a role for sex because I am very passionate about what I do. So most times, when I meet mediocre people on set, it hurts me. I will never ever do that.”
