In a series of tweets, he accuses Burna Boy of intellectual property theft by not reaching out to him for consent to drop the song  he produced for him on his latest album " On A Spaceship" (OAS).

Pulse Nigeria reached out to Burna Boy's PR agency, who said that Burna Boy didn't actually release the song 'Acting bad' as it was leaked and the song is incomplete. The agent said they were making efforts to find out where the leak came from.
