Did Sauti Sol Copy Kanye West’s Video?

Are you seeing Kanye West in Sauti Sol’s new video? Well, you’re not alone because accusations have been rife since the new video was released a day ago. Knockers are even telling off the band for aping the Kanye.

“No we did not copy Kanye West’s Runaway video,” say Sauti Sol in reference to their video Range Rover. However speaking to Capital FM, Chimano, one of the band members, acknowledges that in perception, their new video kinda resembles Kanye’s video. He is nonetheless quick to point out that the concept was totally different.

“We hadn’t even noticed. When people started making the comments is when we looked at it and saw the resemblance, but in essence it is very different.”

Sauti Sol further expounds that Range Rover, a single from their latest EP (extended play), is their version of “Kigeugeu” by and large. For instance, Bien, the lead singer sings about his new Range Rover car then he is surrounded by his friends who later betray him by taking off with his woman and the new car after sharing a meal with him.

So, let’s end the hullaballoo guys. Check out Range Rover below;
