Congo artist, Sapolo Guanoo has struck off Diamond, Jux song ‘Enjoy’ from You Tube due to copyright infringement.
According to Sapolo, he struck off the ‘Enjoy’ audio after realizing that it had the same melody as his song.
The song in question is known as ‘I Found Love’ which has also been pulled down from You Tube.
This happened after a distribution company related to Diamond and Jux countered his move.
“Nimepiga huo wimbo copyright kwa sababu ya melody wa wimbo wangu ambao umepatikana kwenye wimbo wao huo, Wimbo wangu unaitwa ‘I Found Love’ baada ya kuwapiga copyright wao walinishtaki pia kwenye kampuni yao ya usambazaji…So bado tunapambana kukamilisha jambo hilo” He stated.
Jux Was Behind The Plot
Sapolo explained that Jux was behind the plot as he had sent him his song ‘I Found Love’ for collaboration.
However, it never materialized and he ended up releasing the song on his own.
“Nimewahi kumcheki brother Jux kuhusu kufanya kazi ni kitambo sana, nikamtumia project akausikiliza wimbo akasema wimbo uko poa badaye apo akanipatia number ya management kwa ajili ya kumaliza project maana tulikuwa pia tunaongea na management…baada ya kutoelewana kwenye mambo ya kufanya kazi sasa ndio nikaamua tu niiachie kazi yangu mimi mwenyewe”He continued.

After he listened to the song, he was shocked by the similarity and sought Jux to explain.
However, neither Jux nor his management were available for clarification leading him to claim copyright infringement.
”Kwa sababu baada ya kusiliza wimbo wa ‘Enjoy’ nilishtuka sana nikaona kama unafanana kabisa, nikaamua kumuandikia Insta kwa sababu sikuwa na number yake ya whatsapp nikamcheki Insta hakunijibu pia management yangu ikamcheki kupitia email hawakujibu pia so ndio tukaamua kufanya kitu kama hicho” He explained.
