Rapper Zico from Block-B has shrugged off cyber bullies who criticized him for copying the music style of G-Dragon, the global star from boy band BigBang.

“I don’t follow his path,” Zico reportedly told a press conference at the launch of his mini album “Gallery” on Monday, according to media reports.

“I appreciate people comparing me to a big star like G-Dragon. But my future course will be different from his.”

Zico said the cyber bullies might not be G-Dragon fans.

He said that while he took some comments to heart, he tried to ignore other malicious comments.

The star has been dominating the music charts, with “Say Yes or No” topping the charts in October and “Boys and Girls” doing the same in November.

"Eureka" from his latest album has also taken No.1 spot as of today.
