A singer by the name of Portah claims that pop act Sean Tizzlestole
a chorus of his that was used in his hit song 'Perfect Gentleman'.
Portah who is an Ibadan based act has come out to say he is the composer
of the 'Perfect Gentleman' hook, but was not informed by Sean Tizzle or D'Tunes.
The upcoming act made this claim during an exclusive interview with THE NET.
In the story, Portah recollects how he met D'Tunes in STAR FM in Ibadan
when the producer and Sean Tizzle were making promo rounds for their
hit single 'Sho Le'. According to Portah, D'Tunes recognized him as one
of his BBM acquaintances in the past. After catching up with the budding
singer, D'Tunes promised the Lead City undergraduate that he was going
to sign him.
On January 2, 2014, D'Tunes called up Portah, told him to come to his
studio and bring his songs along. The songs were 21 in total. On getting
to the studio D'Tunes copied Portah's song from the two CDs he bought
to his system. In Portah's narration of events, D'Tunes revealed to him
that a friend of his based in the UK was interested in signing him, but
wanted to use the producer as the front for the label. D'Tunes further
told him that when his friend from the UK comes to Nigeria in a few
months, the record deal will be made.
The producer later asked him if he was interested in writing for Sean
Tizzle, and Portah said yes. Nothing however materialized from that
because according to him D'Tunes didn't pick his calls or answer his
texts after that day in the studio.
The upcoming singer said he was unaware his chorus was used in Sean
Tizzle's 'Perfect Gentleman' until a friend of his sang the hook and
told him it was off the pop act's debut album. Portah downloaded the
song and found out it was true.
Portah claims that he reached out to D'Tunes afterwards, but the award winning producer said that he did not jack his chorus.
A representative of D'Tunes' label Difference Entertainment, Johnson has reacted to the allegations. "The guy is fabricating all these, because the song ‘Perfect Gentleman’ was done with me and a lot of other people in the studio" he stated.
'Perfect Gentleman' is the seventh single off Sean Tizzle's debut album The Journey.
