DNA in Court

Rapper DNA who burst into the music scene in a huge way with the release of his hit single “Banjuka” will on Monday appear in court in a case in which he sued a leading bank in the country for using parts of the track in their advertisement.

DNA seeks damages from the bank for overstepping on his patents. He also claims that the bank’s campaign which is youth-oriented borrows heavily from his song. Even the campaign’s title, DNA maintains, was inspired by name of the song.

The hip hop song skyrocketed to the top of the charts and was a major club favorite across the region hence the bank saw the opportunity to ride on its fame and success. DNA maintains that he is keen on following the matter to a satisfactory end because he greatly values his music career which everyone should respect.
