According to a report by pulselive.co.ke, Bishop Deya during an interview on Mseto said “I am an author and I have also written very good songs. If you go to YouTube you will see a song that Beyonce took called, ‘When Jesus says yes’. That’s my song.”
When asked if he has considered taking any legal action, he said “I shall think of that, I have written 200 songs and they are really westernized”.
