Gospel musician DNA (Dennis Kaggia) has taken Kenya Commercial Bank to court over the use of the song 'Bankika Tu', in the bank's new Bankika account. According to DNA's lawyer, the promotion song in the advertisement is copied from DNA's hit song 'Banjuka'.

ANOTHER ARTISTE FEUDS WITH OGOPA

The boy has started breathing fire! That is gospel star Ringtone. Close sources to the musicians reveal that Ringtone has been issuing threats to Ogopa DJs, over the delay of his video release. Ringtone shot his video 'Twende Kanisani' with Ogopa Videos in March this year but he is still waiting for the video to be released. Before he went for his North Rift tour late last month, sources say that Ogopa's spokesman, Banda, kicked the musician out of the studio after he started making noise at all the producers in the stable over his video.
"We are not satisfied with the video so far, but we are working on it. We want Ringtone to get the best," said Banda. But Ringtone claims that the stable is delaying his video intentionally, despite paying them the full amount of video fees.
"They promised it will be done in less than a month...it's four months now. What explanations do they have?" asked Ringtone. Other musicians with the same issues with Ogopa include Nikki, Kingsting, Netto, Makadem, Mr Prime, among others.
