International movie streaming website Netflix, has reportedly removed a South-African production titled Slay from its platform after a complaint was made.
According to a report sighted by YEN.com.gh on Zionfelix.net, Netflix took down the movie after award-winning Ghanaian singer, Wendy Shay, raised copyright infringement claims.
The Shay On You singer earlier put up a video with the claim that she had just seen snippets of the Slay movie and realised that the makers of the music used her song "All For You" in it.
