The 32-year-old singer and record producer seems to have infringed on the copyrighted work of Jamaican artiste Jahmiel and social media won't let it slide.

In 2016, one of Jamaica's best singjays, Jahmiel released a hit single titled "Instant Disaster".

The song, which is a direct diss at fellow artistes Popcaan, Tommy Lee and Notnice, has received huge streams on YouTube with over 3 million views.

8 months later, Shatta Wale dropped a diss song directed at industry players and haters. The song is titled "Real Monster" and in the song, he claimed the industry made him a 'monster'.

The song made headlines in the first week of release but now, people are raising eyebrows on the beat and who really owns it.

When the two beats were compared, we realised it's the same. The only slight difference is that the beginning kicks in Shatta's version was looped. This, somehow affected the progression you will realise the progression on both beats started at different times.
