Old Video of BBO Composing 'Amin' Resurfaces Amid Copyright Drama
An old video showing gospel singer Bakare Boluwatife Oluwatobi, popularly known as BBO, composing his trending song 'Amin (Amen)' eight years ago has resurfaced online. This development comes amid a copyright infringement controversy initiated by folk singer Beautiful Nubia, who has accused BBO and veteran gospel musician Yinka Ayefele of allegedly stealing the melody from his classic 1997 hit 'Seven Lifes'.
The Viral Accusation and Resurfaced Evidence
Beautiful Nubia recently took to social media in a viral post to call out both artists for what he described as intellectual property theft. According to his claims, BBO and Ayefele lifted the melody from 'Seven Lifes' without seeking permission or providing proper credit. In response to these allegations, an old video from BBO's Instagram page has captured significant attention across social media platforms.
The short clip features a much younger BBO playing the piano as he sings the introductory part of 'Amin'. The video's caption explicitly states, 'The day Amin was received, 8 years later.' This timing is particularly noteworthy as BBO officially released the live single 'Amin (Amen)' on January 10, 2026, describing it as a faith-filled worship song and a declarative anthem for the new year, available on all major digital streaming platforms.
Social Media Reactions and Broader Context
The resurfaced video has sparked a wave of reactions from fans and followers online. One user, The kontent queen, commented, 'God that made it possible for you Boluwatife Bakare will make it possible for Me Kehinde Omo Bakare aya Feyijimi, I will be successful worldwide, Amen.' Another fan, EL_JADDU, expressed admiration by stating, 'I’m a Muslim but you can’t love BBO more than me.'
Abba's delight shared a personal anecdote, recalling, 'BBO, one of the monsters of God I'll forever stan. when I was working in redemption camp, he always comes to my workplace and I couldn't even ask him for a picture or even go to him to greet him Cos of professional conduct.' Meanwhile, The_Alba highlighted the journey with the comment, '8 years of consistency endurance and patience.'
In related developments, BBO has recently made his relationship status public, hinting at a potential wedding in 2026. During the 2025 Young Ministers Retreat led by Pastor Daniel Olawande, a prophecy suggested that BBO might attend the next year's event with his wife. This personal update adds another layer to the singer's public profile amidst the ongoing copyright dispute.
The controversy underscores the ongoing challenges in the music industry regarding intellectual property rights and artistic originality. As the situation unfolds, both fans and industry observers are closely watching for further responses from the involved parties.
