Filipino fans have bombarded Lenka’s Instagram account with comments after Shaira Moro decided to remove her viral song “Selos” from streaming platforms due to a copyright issue with the Australian singer-songwriter.
Moro’s song was taken down after Lenka disputed its similarity to her 2008 track “Trouble is a Friend”. Moro’s agency confirmed that they were securing a cover license for the song, leading to negative comments on Lenka’s account from Filipino netizens.
Some netizens defended Moro, stating that Lenka should be grateful for the exposure her songs received through the cover. Others criticized Filipino fans for supporting Moro’s actions, highlighting the importance of respecting copyright in music.
Despite the controversy, Moro assured her fans of her well-being, while Lenka has yet to issue a statement on the matter.
