What does mama say mama sa ma cu sa meanby Rihanna?

Answer 1

Its from Michael Jackson's song "Wanna Be Starting Something". Originally to be believed that it was simply a random African inspired chant created by Jackson himself.

However, songwriter Mark Anthony Neal says, "the lyrics were taken directly from the music of Cameroonian saxophonist Manu Dibango who broke into the American market in 1973 with his classic Soul Makossa." ("Makossa" means "dance" in Duala, a Cameroonian language). Dibango sued Jackson for copyright infringement after Thriller was released; the case was settled out of court.

It is unknown which theory is true.

Rhianna simply sampled Jackson's song which is why you can hear the original course from "Wanna Be Starting Something" in "Please don't stop the music".

Second Opinion: Listen closely,I believe he actually said "mama say mama saw my applesauce"

Answer 3

Momma say, Momma saw my moccasin. Apparently, she found his lost shoe. This shows that Michael was very grateful to his mother because he actually took the time to write a hit pop song about the incident. It must have been an expensive moccasin.
