Bamboo talks about the controversial Jubilee track that he is accused of aping from Gidi Gidi Maji Maji

Bamboo’s latest track, which is a collaboration with Abbas and Chiwawa has not received much love from some of their fans, seeing that it is a rendition of Gidi Gidi MajiMaji’s ‘Unbwogable’ track.

The rage came from the fact that, apparently, Bamboo did not seek permission from the owners of the track to do a rendition of it. Word is that even Gidi himself is not happy at all about that.

Personally, I don’t see what all the fuss is about. This happens all the time with Kenyan artistes, whether they do it on an international hit song or a Kenyan hit song. Thing is, I think all this hate is coming from the fact that these three guys are about to make some huge amount of money from this rendition which they turned all political, endorsing TNA (which according to Bamboo, are thinking about buying the song).

But enough about what I think, we wanted to know what Bamboo thinks about it and so we had him over for an interview.

“First of all, we’d like to give Gidi Gidi Maji Maji props for that song. Big up for that. What we basically did was give it the ‘election feel’. We did a rendition of that song and the guys in TNA loved it and they want to use it. People do renditions of other tracks every time so I don’t see what the problem is. This song will assist us in the peace campaign,” Bamboo told Ghafla!Kenya.

On Gidi’s rage over the issue, Bamboo says, “He wasn’t happy. I mean let’s just be honest, maybe Gidi thinks that there is a bunch of money being made and he wants to make some of the money. Period. There’s nothing else. Si niwaambie tu ukweli, ama niwadanganye?”
