Ghanaian dancehall star Stonebwoy is facing backlash after emerging artist Maddy Maznaz publicly accused him of copying her song without permission.
Maznaz, known for her unique sound, took to social media to express her disappointment, alleging that Stonebwoy's latest track, "Jiggle and Whine" featuring Spice, closely resembles one of her unreleased songs.
This accusation has sparked significant controversy in Ghana’s music scene, with fans and industry insiders engaging in heated discussions across social media platforms. According to Maznaz, the popular artist’s new release shares remarkably similar melodies, rhythms, and lyrics to a song she claims to have composed months before Stonebwoy's track was released.
Maznaz further alleged that she had sent her song to Stonebwoy for feedback before recording, only for him to use it in his release with a Jamaican artist without her permission or knowledge.
"This song is my creation, I worked hard on it, and to see it presented by another artist, especially someone with such a platform, is heartbreaking. Can you imagine!!! Hmmm such a thief just cos I nor blow! Stonebwoy you can't act this way and think I won't realise it wooow," Maznaz wrote in her post.
To support her claims, Maznaz shared short clips comparing her original song to Stonebwoy's version, highlighting the similarities between the two.
The clips quickly gained traction on social media, with fans and followers weighing in—some showing support for Maznaz and others defending Stonebwoy.
