On May 29th, Tanasha Donna released her latest song 'Sawa', which has already garnered over 1.2 million views on YouTube. However, the song's success has been marred by a copyright dispute.

Hexacorp, an Indian company, has come forward claiming rights to the song, alleging that Tanasha sampled the beats of one of their producers. They further claim to be representing Magix Enga, stating that he has been under their management. But Magix Enga has strongly denied these claims, stating that he has never been affiliated with Hexacorp and has no rights to the song.

Magix Enga condemned those who steal other artists' work and called out Hexacorp for using his name in the copyright dispute against Tanasha. 'Taking someone's rights to their work is THEFT and pretending to represent someone is FRAUD. HEXACORP keep my name out of your scam and stop messing with the work of hardworking artists!' he said.
