Dallas, TX – Late last year up-and-coming Dallas rapper The Sensei Blue unleashed his Dance Dailey-directed visual “On The Map,” accumulating over 200,000 views on YouTube. The visual eventually caught the attention of Lil Yachty, who is now being accused of lifting the concept by its inceptor.

Dance Dailey claims that Lil Yachty hit him up on social media before his popularity grew (i.e. being a featured model during Kanye West’s Yeezy Season Madison Square Garden fashion show and getting placement on Chance the Rapper’s Coloring Book cut, “Mixtape”) and details how the pair got acquainted.

“He was saying he likes my videos and visuals,” the 21-year-old videographer tells Say Cheese TV in an exclusive interview. “I guess he had seen ‘On The Map’ so I just know him from the ‘On The Map’ video.”

The Atlanta rapper subsequently asked to work with Dance after messaging him on Twitter but he wasn’t too sure which video he wanted them to do together at the time.

“By him asking that, I’m assuming he wanted a visual like Blues because he didn’t care what song it was,” he says. “He just wanted a visual.”

They did make an attempt to film a visual for the Chief Keef-produced track “Young Nigga Theme Song'” by Yachty and K $upreme. To Dailey’s own admission, the video was never finished due to lack of organization.

In less than a month of Lil Yachty’s “1 Night” music video’s May release, fans began accusing Lil Boat of thievery and began tagging Dance Dailey in posts on social media related to the situation.

The “No Hook” rapper took it upon himself to text Dailey asking that he stop telling people he stole his idea, apparently unaware that it was the fans tagging him in posts accusing him of the misdeed.

“The reason it looks like ‘On The Map’ is because he had a lot of people in it,” the videographer says. “That’s the main reason it looks like ‘On The Map’ because we just had a lot of people in it and that’s exactly what he did with the whole green screen and everything. His post-production looked exactly like our post-production.”

Both visuals utilize a green screen and several random people dancing to each respective song.

Dance is adamant that Yachty did indeed lift the concept of “On The Map” for “1 Night.”
