Jamaican songstress Jada Kingdom has found herself at the center of a copyright controversy. Her diss track “London Bed“, aimed at British act Stefflon Don, was unexpectedly removed from YouTube. The online feud between the two artists began when Stefflon Don previewed “Dat A Dat” on the Dutty Money riddim, which was widely interpreted as containing subliminal shots at Jada.
In response, the British entertainer released a revised version of the diss track, escalating the tension on social media. Jada’s initial response to Stefflon’s provocations fell short of expectations, but she later unleashed “London Bed” as a formidable retaliation. The diss track quickly gained traction on YouTube, trending on the platform and amassing impressive views since its release on January 9. However, the triumph was short-lived as Jada awoke to the surprising revelation that YouTube had removed the track from her channel.
In response to this unexpected setback, Jada Kingdom, known for her resilience, took to Instagram Stories to share the news with her followers. Despite the song reaching 2 million views, Jada remained lighthearted, laughing off the situation. Meanwhile, she encouraged her fans to utilize the single via TikTok, urging them to tag Stefflon in their posts. Some social media users blamed Stefflon, threatening to report her diss tracks on YouTube, while others criticized Jada for not adhering to proper clearance protocols.
It was discovered that “London Bed” was removed due to a copyright claim by Warner Music Group. The reason was that the song contained a sample from Byron Messia and Burna Boy’s single “Talibans II,” both acts have contractual obligations with the label.
