Deejay Busy Signal is denying claims made by an upcoming artiste that sections of the song Tic Toc were taken from one of his songs.
Smokie Benz, whose real name is Lambert Hamilton, had told THE STAR in an interview that some of the content for the song were taken from the song Tick By Clock that he previously recorded.
When THE STAR spoke to Busy Signal following the accusation, he denied taking material from anyone’s song. The deejay denied any claims of piracy. “I don’t know who or what that is (in reference to Smokie Benz). All of my songs are completely original,” he told The STAR on Wednesday.
