Her submission is a reaction to the conversations that have recently around her recently released song, "African Money," which some people feel is similar to musician Barima Sidney's 2011 song of the same name.
Similar to Barima Sidney's piece, Wendy Shay's new song delivers a powerful message decrying the growing instances of corruption and incompetence by African politicians who amass public resources to profit themselves at the expense of their people.
Some have accused Wendy Shay of music theft and copyright infringement, despite the fact that her song has received praise for its originality and for using music to address significant concerns.
Speaking on UTV Showbiz Night, she stated that although the lyrics of the song may have been inspired by Barima Sidney's composition, word choice is not restricted by law and no one has any exclusive rights to words.
"I have been doing music for over five years now and I know the laws of copyright infringements and violations, there is no law that restricts the use of someone's words then if so our Nigerian musicians who use our phrases like ODO and OHEMAA have violated the policy but that is not how it works"
"I'm prepared to face renowned Sidney in court if he thinks I stole his work. I know I haven't broken any copyright laws, so anyone who thinks I've stolen the song can take me to court. Who knows, maybe I'll even learn something from the process or have to pay a fine."
