The song titled '‘Maata Family’ has stirred controversy and fun ever since it was released in 2007. As others struggle to understand the chorus of the song, out of onomatopoeia, some attributed 'Mataa Tueei, Mataa Puee' to fart.

According to the veteran, this caused him embarrassment one time in Cape Coast because some kids saw him and all they thought about was fart.

“I got to Cape Coast, and some children saw me and they chorused my name with fart,” Shasha Marley narrated whilst speaking about the song on GTV's Breakfast show.

Explaining what the lyrics of the song meant, Shasha also emphasized that the infamous ‘FUSH’ heard in the song, is rather ‘FISH’. According to him, it is the name of his friend from Papua New Guinea. Sharing his surprises, Shasha says he still doesn't understand why people won't believe him after many years.
