The timelines were abuzz after reality TV star and musician Papa Penny put a DJ on blast for allegedly sampling his song without his permission. 

“Bushida Coffee, stop [playing] my song Hai Ka Mina, that is my song. Stop that rubbish you are doing. Don't be a fake artist, you cannot remix my song without asking me.

“Don't play with my gift, compose your own song, delete that nonsense now,” said Papa Penny in a now-viral video.

DJ Bushida Coffee later took to TikTok and shared the song had been deleted. He said the song is different and he didn't sample or copy any lyrics. 

He said he wouldn't have remixed someone’s song without their permission, claiming he had been receiving threats on his inbox. 

“I have deleted the song, even though it was just a snippet and it's an unreleased song.”

He said he is a producer making music and he used a small sample of the voice where Papa Penny says “Hai”. 

“I know why people would be angry, I understand, and I spoke to Papa Penny during the day and we ended up talking about procedures and all was sorted.”
