The legendary vocal songbird was in 2016 accused by a songwriter, Lyto Boss of robbing his song and recording it without paying for it. The case subsequently ended in court, where the 37-year-old musician lost the case due to the absence of convincing evidence. Scores of fans of the female hitmaker were disappointed, with her music career subsequently hitting the rocks.
