TKK [The Kuldesac Krew] host Elena Charis sat down with YouTube rap artist, C.KHiD, who’s returning to the spotlight for an explosive reveal. As accusations mount against Chris Brown, including copyright infringement and abuse, another claim that he’s stolen music has been made.
C.KHiD, who had 21-million views on YouTube before ‘retiring’ from the Hip-Hop music industry says Brown stole the multi-platinum song “AYO.” And not only that, he reveals in the podcast the disturbing pattern of copying ideas that the “No Guidance” singer has.
When discussing proof of how Chris Brown got the song, Chris Brown has one answer — “Kevin McCall.”
Apparently, the known CB collaborator and father to the child of ANTM star Eva Marcell, attended the University of Washington with the producer of C.KHiD’s single, “AYO.” McCall directly asked the producer, real name Ross McPhereson, for help in relation to understanding what’s hot on the internet.
Shortly after revealing C.KHiD’s “AYO” song and entire YouTube channel, McCall left the University of Washington where he had a football scholarship and joined Chris Brown back in his hometown of Los Angeles, California.
In the interview with TKK discusses with C.KHiD the breakdown of his “AYO” single’s format and concept; Things that indeed parallel that of Chris Brown’s identically titled single. The original release, which was written nearly 1 year before the major-label released version, simply repeats AYO 3 times before describing how he was the first singer to sing a chorus, in a catchy melody.
Notably however, no one did this before C.KHiD. Further adding to the credibility, Brown somehow released other similar song titles with identical concepts to C.KHID such as “Monalisa Lisa” — always after C.KHiD release, never before.
Chris Brown took home the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Award for top R&B/Hip-Hop song for the single “AYO” in 2016. He also won BMI’s Most Performed R&B/Hip-Hop Songs award in that same year.
In 2015, Chris Brown won Soul Train’s best dance performance for his choreography to the song during concerts.
It’s believed that through Chris Brown, the song generated over $40-million-dollars for music labels, the singer, and other parties involved with the commercialization of ‘AYO.’
