SAD NEWS FOR AKOTHEE AS BENEFACTOR VIDEO FACES RISK OF BEING PULLED DOWN FROM YOUTUBE BY PRICESS JULY


Akothee

By Mkikuyu MJaka


Singer Akothee is gradually becoming a global figure especially after working with Diamond Platnumz,Mr Flavor and Dj Maphorisa in her resent works.She is rumored to be Kenya's richest  musician with a vast estate of belongings and companies.Akothee however is currently facing hard time after she received the sad news that her newest video Benefactor will be brought down from YouTube soon enough.

Benefactor Cover

Reason being some of her lyrics for the song are copy pasted from previous works by few other artistes.Among the few artistes whose works Akothee has remixed into her new Benefactor song include Yelele by Jakonyango and Aroko by Princess July.Princess Jully was part of the divas of the Nile Supergroup that featured four Kenyan  female musicians herself, Suzzana Owiyo, the late Achieng Abura and Mercy Myra.She is famed for the songs Malo Malo Joluo Malo and Dunia Mbaya .

Princess Jully
 

Bonyeza Star took the initiative of speaking to Princess July Records over the issue and it turns out both of the above mentioned songs belong to the Record label owned by Luo Legendary musician Princess Jully.

Princess July's son Makajully who is also the Creative Director at Princess July Records narrated to Bonyeza Star how Akothee ended up obtaining the two projects without neither a proper compensation nor a  permission.Leave alone agreement terms.


Makajully

''If you can remember very well there was a time my mom Princess July and Akothee were up for a collabo .So Akothee paid a visit to Mama and they even took a few photos together though the family was stern on their stand not to have her use the photos until the mission was clearly spelt out.Only to later listen to her latest release and realize she duped all of us.If they were to collabo it was going to be very easy but instead she decided to steal away the lyrics by posing too close and then went to social media to claim she paid us .I want the whole world to know that Akothee never paid Princess July anything and thus she unlawfully used the lyrics .The family's stand therefore is that we not only need compensation for the remixing but also a public apology for smearing mad on our family name .Yes Yelele Jakonyango is since dead but his royalties are still managed by Princess July Records and his beneficiaries.In simple terms whatever Akothee has done is called Infringement and the MCSK laws stipulate clearly what should be done when such happens.We are pulling the video down until we receive clear communication from Akothee and her team concerning settlement and apology.We are also going to serve her with a court order on the same.'' Said Makajully over  a phone call conversation.

REMIXING RULES 101

Is it Illegal to Remix Music? By Brett Snider, Esq. on August 31, 2013 5:45 AM

 Aspiring DJs and music enthusiasts everywhere love original music, and they love it even more when it's remixed. But is it illegal to remix music? Whether you're making mash-ups for your own personal playlist or getting ready to spin your first set at the club, your remix could end up being quite costly if a copyright holder sues you for infringement. Here's what you need to know about music remixes and the law: Copyright Laws and Remixes The main legal issue with remixes is that they are derivative works , meaning that they are derived mostly from other artists' songs.

Akothee and Mr.Flavor
 In theory, this isn't an issue. But almost all music released for consumers has copyright protection, preventing remixers from making their own version of certain songs without permission. Some songs exist in the public domain and are not protected by copyright (e.g., most classical music), but only the sheet music would be open for use, not the recordings. Making a Remix: A Legal Checklist In order to legally make a remix from copyrighted music, you need to:

1. Buy a copy of the song(s). Pirated music is still illegal despite how easily it is to obtain.

 2. Obtain permission from the copyright holder. Each piece of recorded music has at least two copyrights: one for the song and one for the master recording. You need permission from both copyright holders in order to legally remix a copyrighted song.

3. Make a record of permission. Even if it's just an email, you need some sort of written record that the copyright holder has allowed you to make a remix of his or her song. Amateurs who want to just mix songs at home for their own personal use aren't likely to run into trouble if they fail to obtain permission, unless there's money involved. Playing Your Remix in a Club While you might have permission to make the remix from the copyright holder, you can't legally play your mix in a club without the performance rights. Luckily for most DJs, the responsibility for paying the performance royalties typically falls with the club or bar owner and not the DJ. Still, venues won't exactly invite you back for another set if you get them sued. Your actual performance with the remixed music may be covered by fair use, but the more you profit from the remix without getting the copyright holder's permission, the more likely you are breaking the law. While this may not affect most hobbyist remixers, if you ever want to make a remix of yours a commercial success, you need to get the copyright holder's permission.

KHALIGRAPH JONES FINDS HIMSELF IN A DIRTY SOCIAL MEDIA ATTACK AFTER A WEEKEND CAMPUS PERFORMANCE

Khaligraph Jones

By Mkikuyu Mjaka 
 
Stage performance is one of the few things a good artiste should struggle so much not to bring down.The difference comes when  artistes believe they are delivering their best to the point the whole crowd is cheering up yet a good number still feel the show was not up to standard.To begin with Maseno University just had it's opening semester bash  this last Saturday of  Jan 21st with lots of performances from resident artistes also:

NADIA:
Nadia XClusive
 
She brought out the perfect her with the latest trending 'KESI' tune from Pacho Entertainment.Nadia is one of those Maseno singers who has graced quite a number of commercial events so she is  well versed with the what and what to do on stage plus out of stage.It's evident from her looks and compassion that she is not the type of chiq a crowd would boo out.

LANG KATALANG.
Lang Katalang
 
I realized something was a mess when he took to his Facebook timeline to apologize over the Dj and his lost tracks during his performance.The King of Mbegu Mbaya Empire and Alka Music Production Artiste is known to be Maseno's number one hype man  no wonder I guess he came last after everyone else had performed just before Khali,owing to his energy and connecting skills.This gentleman however was wise enough to invite his dancers on stage because without them he would have punched the Dj on the face or something.I saw how  devastated he was  each time he called out for his music to play and none of that was coming.Any armature would have  disgraced himself but for him he chose to soldier on amid criticisms afterwards.Next time ensure the Dj has your playlist King Lang.All in all great hype.

KHALIGRAPH JONES

Khaligraph Jones
 
First and foremost I want to say Papa Jones is one of the dopest Kenyan  rappers of all times  much as the Maseno University fan baze did not favor him last night.He also had track issues with the Dj prompting the emcees to go seek his consent on what song to play next each and every time.However Papa Jones performance was marred with a lot of repetition ending up performing only about 3 to four songs.Despite the fact that  fans think otherwise,the rapper had all the rights to introduce a rap battle in the middle of his performance except for the mere fact that he ended up with many  whack rappers on stage.One or two were good.This did not go down well with many claiming it was lost time and money.He however focused much on bribing his fans with a snap-back and a few gold coated  chains ,a move which merely worked for Papa .Many said they were cheap.Maybe Khaligraph Jones should arm himself with a Dj and a hype man next time.A few dancers if need be.

Below are some of  the few posts by the Maseno comrades with regards to Papa Jones Performance.These posts were extracted from a popular Facebook Group known as C.P.P .

1) Daniel Sirkal Oloo

 TIMMO thank u for the bash, however Khaligraph performed dismally. Kuleta diss stage na accent si yake. I still hold my stand. kama ni artist, Akothee anaweza #TeamAkothee

 2)Patrick Maninga

 Apart from Khaligraph throwing to us a watch,standing cap and chains,what else did he do? Just disses!!! Anyway,next time ni vijana bongo flavour.

3)Ricky Alata

Khaligraph Jones can only perform for 30 mins, just repeating songs and disses. Hapo ametuchesa sana.Kudos Omega Sounds

 4) Ngaywa Wechuli Robert

 Akuna kitu cha maana Khaligraph amefanya.Pengine kutupa watch na kofia. Asiwahi rudi.Nkt. Ata Timmoh ungeleta Gimmy Gait

 5) Patrick Maninga

I congratulate the Executive council together with our able Timmoh for the bash. Meanwhile, Khaligraph had no idea concerning the interests of the comrades. The show didn't match to our expectations. I say,even #Akothee and #Emmah Jalamo are the best.

 6) Sena Anthony Gray kuna
 Msee ameni headbutt gsq khaligraph Jones awe nawe .Onduko thanks stopper but next time leta ata Ali Kiba bana ama Harmonize consider bongo pia man but uko sawa thanks for this bash .

Timmo Stoppa





The show however could not have been a success without a good stage,lighting and a super sound system from Omega Sounds.Dj Madigz, Dj Blueprint and Dj Hush also did their best to ensure their fans were getting  what was worth their money. Equator Fm Presenter Kiptoo,Mc Gray ,Badgal Kay among others did not disappoint either.Kudos to the Entertainment Director Timmo Stoppa and SOMU President Fred Makajos for a job well done

SHOCKING : OHANGLA SENSATIONAL ARTISTE EMMA JALAMO EMBARRASSES HIMSELF IN FRONT OF CAMERA

Emma Jalamo (right) during a past interview

By Mkikuyu Mjaka
 
The mention of the name Emma Jalamo  I believe reminds you  of some of your most favorite Ohangla tunes of all times.The  vernacular Luo musician is know for many exceptional hits among them Simba Ja Uriri
,Gololina and Wivu Mbaya.It's speculated that he might go down in history as the first Ohangla artiste to rule the airwaves for a period of 3 years consecutively.It rarely happens.Mostly many new hits end up dead or broke immediately after.Kudos for that.

Bonyeza Star  traced the artiste back to some of his previous videos which have done so well  .After watching close to all his cool videos we embark on rewinding this particular video for the song 'Gololina' .Gololina in simple language means 'a woman with big sexy eyes' .The dancers are awesome ,not forgetting the guests accompanying the superstar.All our attention however revolves around the video vixen. Some call them  'video girl' .So tender and beautiful.Her attire matches the mood of the song and the exotic venue .Nice butts and a commendable figure.I particularly like her slit,so tempting.

Whoever directed this video Gololina needs a thumbs up.I would say he did a good job except for one embarrassing part.

For instance assuming you take a lady out for a real date leave alone what happens in the movies and music videos , you should be able to operate withing the norms and practices of romance and hospitality.This includes opening the car door for her to come out and eventually pulling back a seat for her to sit down.Couples who are meeting for their first date are required to sit facing each other mostly while lovers who are already dating need to sit close to each other with their bodies  almost in contact. Emma Jalamo and his Gololina are  able to make this part come out perfectly except for one thing. When eateries are  brought to the table   the man should be the one to open up the plates .If it's a snack such as fries  commonly known as chips or chippo a knife and a fork will always be tagging along with some tomato sauce and salt cans of course.Forget about toothpicks.Hizo ni za kukula chippo mwitu za mtaa .

HOW TO USE A FOLK AND A KNIFE

Feeding your woman is not a bad idea just like it's depicted in this video but then again always be cautious how you handle whats before you coz it tells much about someone.If you watch the video keenly you will realize Emma Jalamo is holding the fork like its a spoon and scooping the fries instead of holding them from the tip of the folk.
Emma jalamo and his video vixen during Gololina video shoot


This is actually a total embarrassment to the hotel and hospitality fraternity and not just the Luo community ,since it's your duty to ensure such things do not happen right under your noses. I'm still asking myself where the video director was when this was happening.


HOW TO USE A FOLK AND A KNIFE


Remember once a celebrity always one so eyes will always be watching what you do however little  and I bet that's the reason most celebrities prefer to keep 80 percent of their personal lives private and act cautiously whenever they are  in front of the public eye.

To Emma Jalamo,Sir next time you want to use the fork on chippo don't forget its a spoon.All the best in all your other projects.We love your music still...oh wait a minute .Lastly don't forget again to watch or attend so many weddings Sir.Fries and Githeri are from two different families.

EXPOSED : FANS CLAIM TIMMY DAT LACKS PERFORMANCE ETIQUETTE AFTER ABUSING THEM , PUNDA !

Timmy Dat

By Mkikuyu Mjaka
 
Rule number (1) of performance etiquette says ' While on stage, act as professionally as possible. If mistakes are made make every attempt not to call attention to it.'

The Welle Welle hit maker ,they say, is turning out to be  Kenya's top lady's man not forgetting his grand entry at 10 Over 10 show hosted by Willis Raburu on Citizent Tv, late last year.The much talked about show elevated his career to a whole new level . Analysts claim that ditching Pacho Entertainment for Kaka Empire could be more of a business thingies than a fallout hence fans should not worry. You wanna know why? Rapdamu in one of his latest songs says "Wanauliza ka bado nabonga na Timmy .Nawajibu, Kwani boss iko nini' .Sounds like a parable with a hint though.

Enough of Timmy and Rapdamu.Lets get back to Timmy.




Timmy Dat

Rule number (4) of performance etiquette says , 'Help others by setting a good example.  Stay quiet.  Keep focused' .

In 2016 alone Timmy Dat graced numerous shows among them being the official MC of Safaricom's BLAZE .Bonyeza Star however was keen on the kind of shoddy  performance Timmy Dat  gave to his Rongo University fans the same year.

The artiste arrogantly commanded the event organizers to send him a wireless microphone to his car .Soon after he bounced on stage in a shirt and a mini-shirt on the inside while shouting Punda ! Punda ! Punda ! Loudly on microphone.I guess the guy was trying to release stress or anger by abusing his fans.Immediately Timmy took off his shirt and held it , with fans thinking it would be thrown to them.He then commanded one of the upcoming artistes to take the shirt back to the car claiming "Hii shati ni expensive sana sieziwarushia ivo Punda ! " Oh my goodness how dare you trail abuses to people you expect to cheer you on stage.People you depend on for a living.

Rule number (7) of performance etiquette says , 'Show appreciation for the efforts of other groups . Be respectful.'
August Alsina


I think you all remember just recently when August Alsina was performing at the Freebandz Music Fest in Baton Rouge, Louisianna, when he invited a girl on stage so he could  serenade her and it turned out to be a sexual assault.

Or in the case of Parker Cannon when a Video emerged  from a  gig in Toronto where a girl was kicked off the stage face-first into the crowd by the lead singer  for taking a selfie.


It doesn't end there for Timmy anyway .The star decided not to perform at all,all he did was do a chorus and half a verse for every song the Dj played.The Dj too didn't wear a happy face after being put through such a frustrating marathon.Thirty minutes later  or so Timmy was done.He left the stage when his song was still playing.Left without goodbye .He left at a time least expected.To make it worse he left with the microphone to his car prompting the even organizers to run after him to get back the microphone before he sped off..

I think in one word Timmy looked down upon his audience forgetting superstars rise and fall.One time they ride so high,one time they cant put up with ridiculous utterances from the same fans .


Justine Beiber
For instance Justin Beiber was surprised last year after failing to get the reception he was hoping for  in Manchester , Justin became angry with being booed by fans and ended up storming off stage. It's thought that concert goers were fed up with star talking to the crowd, and instead were eager to see him sing  his biggest hits.What an embarrassment.The star walked off stage after fans refused to stop screaming and allow him to talk.

My point is that  ,an artiste can do anything as far as spicing up his performance is concerned but abusing fans and making fan of them is the worst a performing act can ever do.Let's assume Timmy Dat  was drunk anyway ! next time kumbuka bangi si wheetabix na pombe si maji

DOGO ATEEH NARRATES HOW GKV SWINDLED HIM KSH 5,000 TO GIVE TO WILLY M TUVA DURING VIDEO LAUNCH AS KATALANG' CALLS FOR UNITY

Mseto East Africa presenter Willy M Tuva

By Mkikuyu Mjaka 

I have  said it time and again that nothing hidden under the sun in the name of showbiz artifacts can skip our ears.My team embarks on a two weeks investigation on what seems to be a mega fallout between Gimochiek and Mit Ka Donjo hitmaker Dogo Ateeh and his  Chuo Records counterpart  Producer GKV who also happens to be a rapper too.Our eyes are also rooted to the social media posts and interactions of promising Ghipuka artiste Balulu and the self proclaimed King Lang.11th of January one popular blog known as Updates Kenya is running a very interesting story about Kisumu artiste  Balulu and his musical Journey .An article who's tittle depicts a lot of pettiness in it.

Come January 13th Dogo Ateeh decides to announce his intentions to release Mit Ka Donjo Remix soon enough and in his list of artistes lined up for the remix, GKV is missing.We then call up the rapper to find out why ? And turns out the two have bad blood already.In a phone call conversation with Bonyeza Star , Dogo Ateeh narrates how filthy Chuo Records is, terming the C.E.O as a corn.He begins


GKV (left) and Dogo Ateeh (right) during Mit Kadonjo Video Shoot mid last year

" Working with GKV on Mit Ka Donjo was sweet at the beginning .Soon after the audio had been released he started milking money from me in the name of settling bills for video expenses.I sent him the first Ksh15,000 to book the venue for our shoot only to be told later that out shoot had been cancelled and postponed for another day.Later I sent him another 15,000 and this time he booked the space yes but
ended up introducing two other shooting sessions with different artistes ,a move which we had not agreed on at the beginning.Being a white screen video ,the shoot was done very hurriedly and unprofessionally.Coming to the editing ,anyone who has watched the video can attest to the fact that GKV enjoys more than 80 percent appearance and close range shots unlike my shoddily done scenes. Finally the video was released and it reached a point we were supposed to launch  the song with the help of  Mseto East Africa presenter Willy M Tuva.I don't deny GKV and Tuva have been friends for a while hence it was easier to secure the interview.It's however sad to mention that GKV went ahead still to claim that Tuva is asking for Ksh 5000 to have the video launched yet the last time I checked Tuva cleared the air that Mseto does not charge for release and airplay.Weather Tuva received the money or not,I don't know .After dishing out the 5K to him he shameless went ahead to launch the video on Mseto himself without involving me .In short GKV decided to use me as a Money milking machine and it is for the same reason that I decided to leave him out on the remix.About why he is using Balulu story to brew beef between us,I think that is very childish.

Rapper ,Balulu

The article by Update Kenya is very shallow and up for no good motive. GKV  is not going to be on Mit Ka Donjo Remix final."



Updates Kenya : Is he Causing Sleepless Nights to Many? Meet Balulu- GHIPUKA’s New Kid

GKV however on the other hand  seems to be using Balulu to hit back at Dogo Ateeh and other artistes rebellious to his label  and to justify his actions which is  in deed very unprofessional.At Bonyeza Star we do not propagate beef but say things as they are. This article  by updates Kenya comes after Balulu has just released yet another new  song with GKV hence after screening the purported coached interview we get a reason to make another call to Lang Katalang.Reason being we all knew Balulu  as a former student of King Lang lyrically .

Lang' Katalang'

At some point fans even claimed they sounded the same in the song Gonga Wall. The Luo Flow and Genge rapper however decides to be very careful with his words so as not to send mixed signals.

" I did go through the story by updates Kenya concerning Balulu   after you sent it to me .What  I want to put across is that I might not have much to say about GKV or Chuo records since I have never worked with that hommie before but then speaking of Balulu I think the interview is only 40 percent himself and the rest appears  cooked by a second party.A few vital things have been omitted that is. In a nutshell I groomed Balulu into what he is today and I will never regret about it.Gonga Wall is a song I personally monitored from the onset to the last bit of it .Introduced him to Batoz and Trey Juelz because I wanted the best fro the song hence it would have been wise enough to mention the other two guyz on the song,Critical Kondishon and I .Where I come from we call it credits ! Hahaha! (He laughs) .I mean Balulu is an independent artiste and remember there is a swahili saying that goes 'tenda wema nenda zako' .Siezimfunga hata kama nilimsaidia ku-rise .Its a requirement by the music copyright  laws  to have all participants of a particular intellectuall property  represented in any platform you end up on based on a collaboration . No hard feelings all am insisting on is that GKV should desist from brewing beef among Nyanza Artistes in the name of gaining publicity through dubious means.I still love Balulu as a brother much as GKV and I have bad blood but that is a story for another day.Ni ukweli nimekubali kueka verse kwa Mit Ka Donjo Remix after receiving a call from Dogo Ateeh and this has nothing to do with Chuo records.Nimeskia tu fununu the remix itafanywa Hela Records kwa Visita .Tuendelee na kazi sina shida na mtu.Ninachokiomba ni umoja  kati yetu kama wasanii",explained King Lang'

Meanwhile lets wait and see if GKV will accept or deny these allegations.

DRAMA AT A FUNERAL AS GIRLFRIEND DENIES HER CAMPUS BOYFRIEND OF 8 YEARS AFTER DEATH


By Mkikuyu Mjaka

At around 8.00pm East African time a popular whatsap group is watering down in tears. Homies struggling to accept the sad news that one of their own is gone.A very young and vibrant Kenyan citizen and University student for that matter is dead and gone.Reason being he met his dead in an unusual train accident.True to say they rarely happen.Facebook is flocked with R.I.P messages while a few other friends are also glued at the marvelous Instagram photos he has left behind.A J.K.U.A.T comrade and student of Computer Technology gone too soon.All is well until another awkward utterance is made.A statement which takes everyone to their chins .But why would someone do such a thing for God's sake.

The two met in standard 7,about 8 years down the line,  at a South Nyanza Primary school and were destined for couples if both would make it at the end of it all. 'F**k death. Soon after her boyfriend joins campo she becomes a regular visitor at his hostel much as they were not admitted to the same Uni after all they shared Nairobi City like it was their own. Bonyeza Star spoke to one ofhis schoolmates  who told it all to us, how certain times he would accompany his late friend  to go pick up  the girlfriend .According to him this relationship was one of the few others many people would wish to have had.They even visited each other back at home ensuring both their parents were familiar to each other.I believe for man to introduce a woman to his mum then its clear an engagement ring is on the way.Only for the young handsome genius to die leaving behind a betrayer .Yes she is because she not only failed to attend her boyfriend's funeral intentionally but also claimed to have broken up with him two weeks to his death.This cannot be true,I mean two weeks is too short for one to let go a relationship completely.Couples break up and make up,exes talk once in a while,childhood friends attend funerals of childhood friends.Beyond all reasonable doubt my dear you are so heartless.So sad to note that it was a secret admirer to the late comrade who decided to attend his friend's funeral in the company of her mum,filling in for the position of a girlfriend and having the courage to introduce herself before mourners as the only wife left behind.How would it feel if you woke up from your  gave  and you are told the woman you have always adored and loved so much and even introduced to family and friends while still alive ,did boycott your funeral ? how would it feel rather if you woke up from your grave and met that woman you never had much time for or rather considered second choice,terribly crying at your graveside ,mourning and weeping each day of her life ? Fare thee well comrade ,I wish you could read this so you know who chose to mourn you at death and who avoided your final send off like a plague.It's true there is love after death and betrayers after death too.May the almighty God rest your soul in eternal peace and provide your family with utmost strength during this time of grief.

Apparently Baraka Da Prince had an uncompleted assignment with King Kaka which prompted the Kaka Empire top notch to request the Tanzanian Star to stay a little longer.The two,King Kaka and Baraka  had previously recorded a song in Tanzania whose video King Kaka felt had to be shot owing that Baraka was in the country.I believe this is what caused the dirty showdown between King Kaka and Otile Brown,with the latter  adamantly refusing to let King Kaka too have Baraka for the rest of his time in Kenya.Unluckily enough for Otile Brown, Baraka decided to refer to the  contract thereby trashing Otile's side of the story.According to Otile Brown he felt he had spent so much money on Baraka that King Kaka wasn't supposed to ride on the opportunity that easy while on the other hand Baraka Da Prince didn't look like a tied up man after shooting Niseme Nawe video in Limuru .According to  reliable sources Baraka Da Prince was forced to Shoot his part of the King Kaka collaboration before jetting back to Tanzania.
