Ghanaian Amapiano singer DJ Azonto has released a new song targeting Medikal and Shatta Wale over their alleged copyright infringement of his signature term "Ala Woyo".
He threatened to sue the duo if they failed to meet a list of dramatic and unrealistic demands as compensation for using the catchphrase without permission.
Medikal took to his X handle on July 10, responding with, "Killa ntua!"
In reaction, DJ Azonto has released a song titled "One Shoulder One Cedi Tax".
In the song, he chases Medikal for the compensation demands, asking that he pays before he flexes, calling him "Toppa Thief".
Some catchphrases in the song include:
“My ‘Alla’ was stolen!”One Shoulder One Cedi Tax, pay before you flex!”Toppa Thief, you dey claim what’s mine!”
These lines send direct jabs at Medikal and Shatta Wale.
The song opens with "Toppa Thief!", with Azonto calling on Ghanaians, singing:
"Have you see, 100 million dollars, only for me to hear; Killa ntua."
It continues with:
"Henceforth, one shoulder one cedi," warning Medikal and his crew that he "doesn't want his number and that he should forget email but rather request his account number and send millions."
A video for the diss song is already out, capturing street-style dancers gesturing at the camera in support of Azonto's demands.
DJ Azonto's version of "One Shoulder One Cedi Tax" has been making waves on social media, especially with its entrancing accompanying music video.
The Fa No Fom hitmaker, on "Toppa Thief", showcases his lyrical prowess while combining Amapiano rhythms with some Hiplife vibes.
The song "One Shoulder One Cedi Tax" is available across various digital streaming platforms.
