“No there's no conflict, we had our differences and both agreed not to have a working relationship any more.”
The musician said that he brought up the original song because he felt that many unknown producers often do not get any credit or exposure for their work.
“People got quite emotional the last time so this time I'll let them judge. Look, it's all love over here but the sad thing is we have a community of young producers that are also dependent on this and are trying their best to stay afloat with a genre that isn't mainstream.”
He went on to say that he couldn’t keep quiet and allow such to happen.
“Someone has to say something. This particular song isn't even out yet. It's just been played by DJ's exclusively and now it's here.”
