Jazzman Olofin Calls Out Adekunle Gold Over “Raise the Roof” Rehearsal Clip
Nigerian music fans were caught off guard earlier today after veteran singer Jazzman Olofin publicly called out Adekunle Gold over a rehearsal clip that surfaced online. In the video, AG Baby was seen vibing with his band to a melody that sounded strikingly similar to Jazzman’s early-2000s hit, “Raise the Roof.”
Jazzman, clearly surprised, took to social media to question why the younger star was rehearsing with a sound so close to his classic record without any prior notice. While he didn’t issue a full-blown rant, his tone showed a mix of curiosity, concern, and a touch of territorial pride over a song many still see as a cultural staple.
Fans are now split, some believe Adekunle Gold was simply experimenting during rehearsal, while others argue that proper acknowledgment should always be given, especially when dealing with iconic tracks.
As of now, Adekunle Gold has not responded, leaving the conversation open and the internet buzzing. Whether this turns into a collaboration, clarification, or a quiet fade-out, one thing is sure: “Raise the Roof” is trending again and the streets are watching.
