Eugene Nice Claps Back at Singer Fluxii Over “Pull-Up” Dispute: “No One Owns That Phrase!”
The Liberian entertainment industry is no stranger to controversy, and this week, a brewing dispute between artist Fluxii and businessman Eugene Nice has taken center stage—all over the phrase “Pull-Up.”
Fluxii, a fast-rising female singer known for her bold voice and unique style, took to social media to express frustration over what she sees as a case of idea theft in the industry. In her post, she criticized an unnamed party for allegedly copying her concept:
“Why Liberians can’t be original? Somebody na already copy our Pull Up idea. La why whole day you seeing Liberia version of some olor country celebrity. Be yourself and be original.”
The message was loud and clear—and it stirred reactions online. But it didn’t take long before Eugene Nice” a respected businessman and voice in the music space, stepped in with a direct response.
“FLUXII & DMG MUSIC. Ur reaction to ‘Pull-Up’ seems dramatic. It’s widely used in music and everyday language, and no one owns it. Artists like MC Carro, Chris Brown & Jason Derulo have songs with this title, so there’s no need to get worked up.”
His clapback quickly gained traction, sparking a wider conversation on social media about originality, ownership, and creativity in Liberia’s growing music industry.
“What’s Really Going On?”
Fluxii’s frustration points to a deeper issue many artists face—feeling unseen or uncredited in an industry that’s still developing its structure for intellectual property and brand protection. However, Eugene’s argument highlights a common reality in global music: some terms are just too universal to claim.
From “Chris Brown’s seductive anthem to Jason Derulo’s dance-pop banger, the phrase “Pull-Up” has been widely used across continents, genres, and cultures. Even “Liberia’s own MC Carro” has her own “Pull-Up” record. In this context, Eugene is simply saying: if everyone’s using it, it’s nobody’s to own.
Industry Buzz or Personal Beef?
While it's unclear if this disagreement will escalate further, one thing is certain—Liberia’s music scene is alive, loud, and evolving. Whether it’s through fiery posts or viral hits, the push for originality and recognition is stronger than ever.
As fans wait to see what comes next, one question lingers: Can creativity truly be copyrighted in Liberia like other countries around the world —or is imitation just a sign that you’re influencing the culture?
