Mega and Meneer Cee butt heads over ‘Pikkewyne’

A Namibian rapper and a South African amapiano artist are fighting over a song.

Mega Slaughterhouse and Dalmaine Cochrane Junior, better known as Meneer Cee, have set the internet ablaze over the rights to a remix of ‘Pikkewyne’.

This comes after Namibia’s Mega wrote on social media that the South African artist has been ignoring his texts and calls after dropping the remix unauthorised.

“I have been letting it slide, but . . . you are claiming my song in SA, generally blocking me from getting gigs and stuff. You started seeing my song taking off, and you called me and told me club owners in SA scam people, and that I must talk to anyone,” he wrote.

Mega said his song was dropped onto Youtube and Apple music without his knowledge.

Meneer Cee responded by saying: “If we are going to make statements, than let us have proof, please! From day one I have made it clear this song stems from Namibia, and made sure to always put your name first, unlike other people’s remixes,” the Instagram post reads.

Many Namibians are upset with Meneer Cee, with a few wanting to block him from ever performing in the country again.

The artist toured Namibia in May.

Mega Slaughterhouse this week said he got tired of sending messages to the South African musician and his manager with no response.

“My manager had sent the files to them, and when I saw they had made a remix and had not gotten my permission to release it, I flipped. At first I didn’t care about it, but these people are making money from our music. At first I asked them to at least correct the way my name is written, but no one did anything about it,” he said.

Mega said he wants recognition for his hard work.

“I was just being told to get my passport ready. I am happy that my Namibian people are behind me, fighting this battle with me, I have never felt so supported. Meneer Mcee has not released a hit track in a long time and now wants to use my song for his own elevation,” he said
