Renowned musician Fiifi Selah of TH 4 Kwages claims that raggae-dancehall artists Shatta Wale and Samini stole his vocal style.
He claimed that the two musicians were inspired by his songs to write their first successful songs and enter the music business.
During the Friday Prime Morning broadcast, he spoke with Joy Prime's Roselyn Felli and made these remarks.
Samini made a copy of myself. He composed his song "Linda" after listening to my music. Before becoming Shatta Wale, he also listened to one of my Sass Squad tracks. I'm the source of them all," he remarked.

After he performed an acapela, the host inquired as to whether of him and Samini had plagiarised the other because of their comparable styles. This was his response.
Consequently, he regards himself as the pioneer of raggea-dancehall music, asserting that other artists in that genre have adopted his techniques.
The performer talked about how, when given the opportunity to conduct a radio show, he actively promoted raggea-dancehall music. "Thus, raggea-dancehall gained popularity in Ghana during my lifetime."
Fiifi Selah went on to say that Sarkodie is the only rapper who can imitate and follow his rap style because it differs from the typical style that other musicians can flow with.
He said, "My rap is hard to get; nobody can rap it; only Sarkodie can do it."
Despite this, he is happy of the influence his songs have had on other performers throughout the years, such as Ayesem and Kofi Kinaata.
