Kidi is being accused of sampling a song for his raving success single, 'Say Cheese'. Currently the most streamed song in Ghana and 9th most streamed in Africa according to Apple Music, KiDi's 'Say Cheese' with no doubt is a bop. The home concept visual effect on YouTube also has closely to 500,000 views just within a week of release.

KiDi is said to have allegedly sampled a song by U.S based Artists, T.Dash & Antaeus Devonte titled 'Say Cheese (Take a picture)' which was released in 2012. Even though both songs don't belong to the same genres, they share the same concept and few similarities which has raised an alarm. There are other songs on the internet with similar song titles but different concept as compared to that of T.Dash's & Antaeus.

T.Dash & Antaeus Devonte's version of 'Say Cheese' was inspired by a media company called "Creative Energy". The objective backing the creation of the song is to promote photographers and media teams world wide as well as providing music lovers with a song about taking pictures. KiDi's concept depicts same ideology as T.Dash's. Apart from providing music lovers with a song talking about picture taking, he inserts a story of an escapade he's planning on having with a girl abroad when she returns to Ghana.

Choruses have the same 'Say Cheese, Take a picture. "0:28mins" into T.Dash & Antaeus Devonte's. 'Strike a pose and take a picture' can be heard there in a rap by Antaeus Devonte. KiDi, not a rapper fused that into his chorus. Talking about chorus, the tone of both are quite similar. The soothing choruses were sang in a laid-back and chilled tone.

Listening to both songs attentively will expose some similarities. All in all, KiDi did a good job with the remake especially with the fusion of the Afrobeat vibes to it.
