Yiji took to social media to call out Bad Bunny for stealing the song.
The emPawa African boss claimed that a Latino musician was plagiarizing his artist Joeboy’s song “Empty My Pocket.”
“@sanbenito, you need to tell your lawyer to stop messing around and make it clear that Joeboy rips off your album.” Eazi wrote.
