SUNGURA musician, Bio “DT” Mudimba, says he is set to take legal action after his recent single, titled Mushe Mushe, was put on online stores for financial gain by cyber fraudsters.
He complained on social media after he found out that his song was already uploaded online, without his consent.
He found out when his song was flagged on YouTube, for monetisation.
In an interview with H-Metro, Bio said he was working tirelessly to recover his work and also seek legal advice.
“Currently, I have been receiving advice on legal ways to deal with such situations.
“I have so far engaged YouTube and I’m also making efforts to contact all other online stores to rectify the issue,” he said.
“I hope we will recover our work.”
Mudimba told H-Metro the culprit should desist from benefiting from other people’s sweat.
“I just want to tell him that it’s not a fair way to earn money.
“He should consider the future of the music project, which has been running without any funding, but rather relying on the little that comes from the streams we get, for its sustainability,” said Mudimba.
Below is the statement posted by the Kujata Jata singer on social media.
“Guys I am so pained. Someone called Fuga stole Aluse Mushe Mushe and uploaded on all online stores the very week it was released.
“I was banned from putting it on stores yavekunzi haisi yangu.
“Now, yatevererwa paYouTube channel yangu, where I uploaded it first, and it has been barred from monetisation claiming that it now belongs to Fuga.
“Is it the way we should make money from the underprivileged who are struggling to earn a living from their hard work as Zimbos?
“May the Almighty bless him he who has decided to take the little bread for my children to feed his own.”
