"I planned to reintroduce the song as a remix and was working on that, but then, I usually heard my kids, two of them, singing [Team Eternity's version]."
"I even thought they had recreated that themselves. They only told me that a group has already produced the song. I was stunned," she said.
Her comment follows the recent controversy about copyright infringement regarding Defe Defe, an old song which has been resampled by Ghanaian gospel group Team Eternity.
The producers of the old song claimed Team Eternity used portions of their song without their consent, which invoked the wrath of Producer Kwame Micky.
Mabel, lead singer of the group, has also reacted to the news.
