Today, Vesa Luma has published a story on Instagram, where she shows a news about the late singer, Shpat Kasapi. According to the title, a Bulgarian singer has stolen the singer's song "Valle Kosovare", and Vesa immediately reacted.

In the short article dedicated to the news, she not only talks about this situation, but also criticizes Tayna, mentioning the 250 euros she gave as a reward to singer Alida Hisku.

"That's why, colleagues, copyright is extremely important (what didn't you say when I defended my creations "with teeth")... because one day when we are no more, others will benefit from your hard work and sweat instead of your children or family! Or when you get old, some current artist will buy you for 250 euros," she writes, and in the last line we all understand who she is talking about.

Two days ago, during an interview on the show "Mes'dritë" on Vizion Plus, singer Alida Hisku spoke about the return of one of her songs through Tayna.

The song in question is "Thana", realized thanks to a collaboration that Tayna had with singer Alida Hisku. Part of this song is the voice and some verses from the song "Vajzat e fshatit tim", sung by Alida Hisku. During the interview she conducted, the latter shared more details about how the agreement between them was reached.

According to her, Tayna had called her to communicate the idea she had, as well as to propose collaboration.

"Tayna even calls me and says: 'Alida, I want to do your song and I'll take a part of your voice.' It seemed to me... I saw it in two aspects. I don't see any kind of singer as competition, because, I said it again, I'm from a different generation. I take the goal, I don't take personal interests."

She said that her only goal was for an Albanian song to reach the Kosovo public, as she herself said, she was not interested in success at all. Later, she said that Tayna asked her for the phone number of the song's composer, Enver Shëngjergji, and the lyricist Zhuliana Jorganxhi. Later, after two weeks, Tayna had sent her 250 euros, the singer claimed.

Since the statements directly touched on issues of copyright, contractual authorizations and payments, Anabel Media officially contacted Doruntina Shala's (Tayna) management to request more information about the use of the song "Vajzat e fshatit tim".
