Composer Accuses Leslie Shaw of False Authorship Claims and Threats

The Peruvian music scene is buzzing with a new controversy. Composer Carlos Rincón, known for his work with Leslie Shaw on hits like "Hay Niveles" and "Pendejerete," has publicly accused the singer of falsely claiming co-authorship and even threatening him. In an interview on América Televisión's "El Reventonazo," Rincón detailed his side of the story. "Leslie threatened me twice with legal action," he stated, recounting an incident where Shaw attempted to prevent the release of a song. Rincón also explained how Shaw only spent 10 minutes in the recording studio, yet claims credit for the composition. He added, "She maqueted the song, but she thinks just being in the studio makes her a co-composer." The incident highlights the often-fraught relationships within the music industry and the challenges of establishing authorship. The ongoing dispute between Rincón and Shaw is likely to continue generating headlines in the coming days.
