His 2012 single and music video for "L’Attente" created controversy with allegations it showed attacks by Afghans on Canadian
troops in Afghanistan, telling the story from a Afghan fighter's perspective. The protests alleged this was a glorification of the
Taliban and pinpointed to the fact that Manu Militari had received $110,000 in four years from MusicAction, a government-
funded body. Manu Military withdraw the music video in question on 29 June 2012 days after the controversy.
