Controversy has struck the Zimbabwean music scene once again, as popular rapper Holy Ten finds himself at the center of a copyright claim.
His hit song "Ucharamba Uchipisa," featuring Michael Magz and Poptain, has been removed from YouTube following the claim. This recent incident comes on the heels of a series of copyright disputes involving other local artists.
The wave of copyright claims began when Pastor Charles Charamba raised concerns about Jah Signal's song "Sweetie" allegedly copying elements from "Kana Vanhu Vangu." Subsequently, record label Kenako Music took action against Winky D's tracks "Disappear" and "Mirror," citing unpaid royalties as the reason for their removal from the platform.
