Tanzanian Singers Juma Jux and Diamond Platnumz have faced a major setback after "enjoy" video was pullee down from YouTube after a copyright claim made by Congolese artist Sapologuano Odenumz.
The song which was the number one song on Youtube Kenyan charts for two weeks after its release had gained popularity among fans from all over.
In August "Enjoy" audio was 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, speaking to a Tanzanian blog, also said he had made the complaint through YouTube when the song was released.
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.
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
Additionally, Odenumz also alleged that Diamond and Jux also sued him via the company that distributes their music and that the fight is still going on.
This is not the first time Diamond is facing copyright claims, in November 2022, he and Mbosso were also caught up in a copyright infringement case for their song “Yataniua” which South African DJ Maphorisa claimed sounded similar to his song “Adiwele” featuring Young Stunna and Kabza de Small. The song was, again, pulled from Diamond’s channel but not Mbosso’s.
