Megacy Weighs In On Caiphus Semenya’s Royalties Demands From AKA’s Management
Megacy Weighs In On Caiphus Semenya’s Royalties Demands From AKA’s Management. AKA became well-known for more than only his raps; his ability to use vintage music samples in his own compositions demonstrated his creative brilliance. The rapper’s Mass Country album demonstrated his inventiveness once more as he sampled more than five iconic tunes.
With the country still trying to figure out why AKA was murdered, legendary jazz star Caiphus Semenya is reportedly demanding royalties from AKA’s management. According to the SundayWorld, Semenya is allegedly demanding 50% of royalties from the two simple songs AKA sampled on his two albums.
As per the reports, AKA sampled two songs without securing written consent from the legendary Jazz musician. This has prompted Semenya to give AKA’s management an ultimatum to pay up for the work or he will take the matter to the powers that be.
According to SundayWorld, Semenya acknowledged that AKA had used his song’s sample without his consent and said he had given his record company instructions to deal with the slain rapper’s copyright violation.
Taking to Twitter, AKA’s fans have shared their divided opinions following Semenya’s demands. The relentless Megacy fanbase argued that Semenya could’ve dealt with the matter when AKA was alive whilst others could not defend their favourite rapper for repeating the same violation for the second time.
Following the recently concluded Metro FM Awards Nominees, the Supa Mega snagged six nominations, with the Mass Country album serving as the apex of his success. The slain rapper was nominated for:
Song of the Year, Best Hip Hop Artist, Best Male, Best Collaboration Song, Artist Of The Year, and Best Music Video.
AKA’s fans have been pushing for the rapper to get justice following his murder outside the Wish Restaurant in Durban on 10 February. The Police force is yet to arrest the actual suspects after the ones they apprehended in Capetown were released days ago.
