"There is nothing like copying, People who understand music know that there’s nothing like this. Doing a song, you just get inspired in mostly by the beats. Ugandans have no idea that you can listen to the beats that sound just the same. That is not copying because if that was the case, the songs wouldn’t even be uploaded on YouTube because of the copyright law," Fik Fameica said in an interview.

Some of Fik Fameica’s songs that have been criticized by fan include; 'Byenyenya' which sounds exactly like 'Fester Skank' by Lethal Bizzle and Diztortion, ‘Kutama' which is quite similar to ‘Thitima’ by Kaymo and Stigah and lastly ‘Muko’ which sounds like Wiz Kid's Joro hit.
