Byron Messia’s ‘Talibans’ Removed From YouTube After Complaint Filed by Jeff Fullyauto

 Jeff Fullyauto has finally taken action against Kittitian artiste Byron Messia after accusing him last year of stealing his flow for his single Talibans.
 
Byron Messia released Talibans in early 2023, and the song quickly rose in popularity, appearing on multiple international charts such as the Billboard Hot 100. The track also picked up gold and silver certifications in Canada and the United Kingdom, respectively.
 
However, as the deejay gained success, he became increasingly controversial, with many dancehall fans joining Jeff Fullyauto in insinuating that he copied his song Big Guns. On Wednesday, Byron Messia shared several posts on his Instagram Stories, revealing that the Talibans music video has been removed from YouTube.
 
In a post featuring the caption, “God Alone Know,” Byron shared a screenshot of the message from YouTube informing him of the song’s removal. The deejay also shared a screenshot of a message sent before the removal, notifying him that a complaint had been filed by Jeff Fullyauto, born Jeffrey Grant.

According to the message, Jeff Fullyauto wanted to give Byron an opportunity to resolve the copyright issues before the track’s removal and a strike was applied. The artiste had been notified seven days ahead of time.

Byron went on to share a snippet of the same message as he bashed Jeff Fullyauto.
 
“God & Time Man… De man singing about big guns and still reporting man page,” Byron Messia wrote.
 
He went on to write, “Uno Win.”
 
On the other hand, Jeff Fullyauto has not released any statement relating to the matter and has been promoting his latest music instead. His most recent post to his Instagram Stories features a clip from an interview with Lil Durk, with the rapper stating that he’s too focused to pay attention to other people.
 
Last year during an interview on The Fix Podcast, the Preps deejay shared that he actually liked Talibans the first time he heard it. However, as Byron Messia refused to give him any kind of acknowledgement and said that he was not inspired by Jamaican artistes, he began to take offence.
Notably, the audio for Talibans, which was released on his No Love album, is still available on YouTube.
