Popular Twitter (formerly known as X) personality Daniel Regha has attacked Grammy award-winning singer Daniel Regha over his recent claims of not using songwriters.

“Any name you see credited on my songs are only producers of the songs or featured artists not writers. But for some reason the western world considers producers as writers of the instrumentals and they just throw their names on there as writers. Nobody is fit to write for Odogwu,” he wrote.
A few minutes after Burna’s post went viral, Daniel Regha countered the international star with a screenshot of a tweet he made in 2020.
In the tweet, Burna Boy admitted that Davido’s signee, Peruzzi, wrote a song for him.
Sharing a screenshot of the tweet, Daniel wrote:
“Burna, this was u in 2020 giving credit to Peruzzi as a songwriter, but all of a sudden nobody writes for u? For the record, no-one gets songwriting credit unless they co-wrote or contributed to writing the song, so your statement isn’t valid…”
