Just a couple weeks ago news broke about the alleged theft of the single “I’m A Fan” by rising American pop star Pia Mia. The song featured on Phyno’s most recent album “The Playmaker“.
On the 26th of May 2017, Pia Mia released “I’m A Fan” featuring Jeremih
under Interscope. Nigerian social media went into instant disbelief on
the alleged theft and countless reactions have followed since as there
have been observed similarities with both songs, these similarities
include the beat, chorus, hook and some other noticeable elements. Now
the song writer to whom the credits of “I’m A Fan” originally belonged
to has decided to set things straight.
“I
wrote the original demo of “I’m A Fan” and pitched it to various
artists. I worked with Pia Mia and Jeremih on the track and their song
is the only version authorized”. – T Cole
