He was referring to his hit 90s song Hayi Ka Mina Hee.

"The DJs that don't know how to sing stop playing with our minds. Bushida Coffee, stop [playing] my song Hayi Ka Mina Hee, that is my song."

Papa Penny then goes on to ask Bushida to delete the song and advises him to compose his own music.

"Stop the rubbish you are doing. [If you want to use] anybody's song, consult. Don't be a fake artist. You cannot remix my song without asking me. You must do your own thing. Don't play off my gift. Compose your own song, delete that nonsense, that rubbish now. Budaza Coffee, whatever!"

Speaking to Briefly News, Bushida Coffee clarified that the remix he made is different from Papa Penny's original song.

"The song didn't even have his lyrics on [it]. The melodies and baseline had some similarities but were different. Papa Penny is a legend that I grew up loving, and his music always brings the best memories of my childhood."

Bushida said he is willing to work with Papa Penny to release the song seeing that fans enjoyed his remix.

"However, even though I deleted the song out of respect, I do not think he should have lashed at me like that without even listening to the song. The song is completely different from his song. At the end of the day, I am a great producer, and I am not desperate to release hits. I will not be releasing the song. The song is a hit, and should Mr Papa Penny be willing to release it, we can work on it and make people dance. I still have the song, which has the potential to be great, and I am open to sharing the rights provided all is done in a peaceful manner."

"Djs play bootlegs all the time. Bootlegs are part of the Dj club culture. It’s been happening for years. Bootleg just means it’s an unofficial remix.

@stokodj said:

"It has been happening until someone goes to court. Ai Maan, it's wrong, and Coffee should just shut up and apologise to Papa Penny."

@TeeTouchza said:

"The same black coffee that claimed he can't support Zakes Bantwini because Osama is bootleg??"
