Master Queen, a prominent On-Air Personality, has spiked a controversy after urging MC Caro to sue bloggers for posting her music video without permission.
In a recent Twitter post, MC Caro expressed frustration at bloggers who download her music videos and post them on Facebook, thereby depriving her of the views and revenue she deserves.
“Someone take their money do video , upload on YouTube for their fans to watch and subscribe so they can earn one or two dollars,” MC Caro said.
“You go there download the entire video and post it on Facebook Now the artist struggling for views but tomorrow ur will be the same people telling us to hire George Washington to be PR and musa Bility as dj turn around compare us to people who make millions of dollars every year.”
Master Queen, responding to the post, advised MC Caro to take legal action against the bloggers, stating “You can change your settings boo. Sue one person first.”

While some fans are in support of Master Queen’s advice, others believe that the problem is not with bloggers, but the artist’s refusal to copyright their content effectively.
Goreta L. Itoka, a famous Liberian model, also supports Master Queen’s decision to sue bloggers for illegally posting artists’ content. “You should sue them,” she wrote.
While lots of Caro’s friends are supporting her to take legal action against bloggers, a fan on the “Inside Liberia” Facebook page uses the opportunity to “schooled” our entertainer most especially MC Caro.
“Permit me to school you,” Kenny Dee began. “If your song is licensed, from the person’s platform the revenue still comes to you. The person introduces your tune to a broader audience. The broader audience wants more of your tune that if its nice.. so they go search for you, google, FB, or youtube.. which makes your algorithm grow.”
Regardless of these concerns, Master Queen remains firm in her advice to MC Caro, insisting that legal action is necessary to protect musicians’ intellectual property rights.
These controversies will continue to divide fans and industry insiders alike, with some calling for more support for struggling musicians and others advocating for stricter enforcement of copyright laws. As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the music industry in Liberia needs significant reform and support to flourish and protect everyone’s interests.
