Henry Orakwue, the former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate better known as Groovy, has called out Tyla Laura Seethal, the South African singer, over alleged intellectual property theft.
Groovy is a reality star, singer, and sports pundit.
On Saturday, the entertainer took to his X page to accuse Tyla of sampling his song ‘On My Way’ in the South African’s upcoming track ‘Truth or Dare’.
Groovy shared a snippet from his project while saying the South African singer did not get permission from him before allegedly sampling his song.
“Hi Tyla, your new song sounds so much like my song ‘On My Way.’ Your team didn’t clear with me on that,” he wrote.

Tyla is, however, yet to respond to the allegation.
Groovy participated in the BBNaija season 7 edition titled ‘Level Up’.
While on the reality show, he kept tongues wagging following his relationship with Phyna, the eventual winner of the season.
Their relationship, however, crashed after the reality show.
Speaking about the relationship, Groovy said he and Phyna were incompatible. The reality star added that fans also amplified their conflicts by making different allegations online.
Tyla, on the other hand, is a songstress and songwriter famous in South Africa. Born and raised in Johannesburg, the 21-year-old signed to Epic Records in 2021 after the domestic success of her debut single ‘Getting Late’.
