In the midst of a burgeoning controversy surrounding an AI-remixed version of her hit song "Masavu," Ugandan songstress Azawi has taken aim at fellow artist Weasel Manizo for what she deemed a "classless" social media post.
The dispute arose after Weasel Manizo shared a post asking fans whether he should release a demo, which Azawi claims doesn't exist. The post comes on the heels of Azawi's latest chart-topping single "Masavu," which has garnered widespread acclaim and success.
The controversy surrounding "Masavu" stems from a fan's use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to incorporate the late Mowzey Radio's voice into the song. Mowzey Radio, a former member of the renowned Goodlyfe Crew, tragically passed away, leaving behind a legacy cherished by fans. Weasel, who continues to leverage his association with the Goodlyfe Crew to bolster his solo career, seemingly attempted to inject humor into the situation by suggesting the release of a non-existent demo.
However, Azawi swiftly fired back at Weasel's post, denouncing it as "classless" if it had any association with her record. The songstress vehemently refuted allegations that "Masavu" was a rework of an unreleased Mowzey Radio track, clarifying that the song is an original composition by herself, not Radio.
Despite initial confusion among some fans who failed to recognize the AI-generated verses in the remix, "Masavu" has enjoyed immense popularity and success, topping charts across the country. The remix featuring Mowzey Radio's AI-generated vocals has undoubtedly played a significant role in propelling the song to its current state of acclaim.
