“The Uganda music industry after a decade will be meaningless. People will not be minding about Ugandan artistes coz the international artists will have taken over. Most artists are doing a lot of copy and paste while producers are using the same pages and samples for different songs. Now most new kids on the block are surviving on copied beats from the international market. Songs no longer last long coz they are not new in the fans’ ears. Well in d short run we are benefiting but later we shall be forgotten.” He said.

This comes just days after new comer Fik Fameica trashed his critics who called him out over copying other people’s songs.
