“Seriously they did very well because not all industry players will get GHC200 and Phone from the Association. I was even lucky to have such kind gesture from the leadership”.

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Ghanaian songstress Becca had come under serious criticism for allegedly copying South African Sho Madjozi’s ‘John Cena’ hit song.

These accusations started after Becca released her 'No One' song which is a direct replica of Sho Madjozi’s ‘John Cena' hit song.

Comparing Becca's 'No One' to Sho Madjozi’s ‘John Cena’, it is clear that there are a lot of similarities between the two songs and since 'John Cena' came out first, most Ghanaians have concluded that it was Becca who sampled the song.

However, it is unclear whether Becca sought permission from Maya Christinah Xichavo Wegerif, popularly known as Sho Madjozi’s before using her beat and sampling her style and rhythm for her song.
