After a week of Kenyan producer Magix Enga threatening Tanzanian singer Harmonize for stealing his beat, the song ‘Uno’ has been pulled down.
YouTube has pulled down a music video by Tanzanian singer Harmonize after a copyright claim was filed by one of Kenya’s leading music producers, Magix Enga.
A spot-check conducted on Harmonize’s YouTube channel revealed that the ‘Uno’ video which had garnered over 2 million views on YouTube has been pulled down, but the audio version is still available.
“This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Magix Enga,” a message from YouTube read.
After the song was pulled down, Magix took to social media issuing a warning against anyone sampling his beat. “1 week imeisha and the song Uno is no longer on YouTube. Don’t sample Magix Enga beats. I repeat don’t! Like I said I’m not going to allow this to happen, not in 254,” wrote the producer nicknamed ‘Beat King.’
This comes a week after Magix accused Harmonize of stealing his beat, warning of unspecified consequences if the song is not pulled down. Evidently, Harmonize did not heed the warning and neither did he bother responding to the allegations.
As reported by The Sauce, Konde Boy allegedly used a beat he created for the famous club banger, ‘Dundaing’ featuring King Kaka and Kristoff.
