A Congolese artist identified as Sapologuano Odenumz has filed a copyright claim on "Enjoy" by Diamond Platnumz and Juma Jux. This has caused the audio to be taken down from YouTube.
Sapologuano Odenumz alleged that the melody featured in Diamond and Jux's song bore a striking resemblance to his own composition titled 'I Found Love.'
The artist claimed that his distinctive melodies were incorporated into the track without proper authorization.
Speaking to a Tanzanian media outlet, Odenumz confirmed his role in filing the copyright claim, stating, "Yes, I copyright struck the song because it is the melody of my song 'I Found Love' and it was found on their song."
Odenumz shared that he was surprised when he first listened to 'Enjoy'. He claimed that he found similarities between the song and his own composition, 'I found love.'
As a result, he reached out to Juma Jux but his attempts to address the issue bore no fruits. With no other option left, he filed a complaint with YouTube since he needed to protect his creative work. The audio track was then taken down from YouTube.
As a result of this claim, Diamond Platnumz and Juma Jux have reportedly taken legal action against Odenumz through the music distribution company that handles their content.
Despite the legal battles and contentions, Odenumz shared that YouTube extended an olive branch by inviting both parties to engage in negotiations and seek a resolution.
