Music and Accusations
In 2013, La Materialista faced accusations about her song "Chipi Cha Cha". People said it sounded very similar to "I Am the Best" by the Korean group 2NE1. Her music video for "Chipi Cha Cha" was taken down from YouTube. Later, it was put back online in 2015 as a cover. This means it was a new version of an existing song.
La Materialista responded to the accusations. She said she meant it as an honor to make a cover of the song. She added her own lyrics to it.
