Gloria Muliro Responds To Allegations That She Jacked A Song

So yesterday some guy who likes to refer to himself as Gloria Muliro’s “former fan” poured out his bile on the Gospel artist in a long open letter and even referring to the artist as “a liar and a cheat.”

Well, Gloria has responded. And she has made it clear that she did not steal Chris Tomlin’s lyrics and that the song’s inspiration comes from the Holy Bible. Gloria quotes the book of Ruth (Ruth 1:16-17) where Naomi asks Ruth to follow her sister-in-law and Ruth responds by saying:

“16. Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me”.

Gloria goes further to give the lyrics of her song which are not anywhere close to Chris Tomlin’s save for the verse. Check out;

Verse 1 :
Unaponipeleka
mie si lazima nijue Unachoniwazia mie si lazima
nijue Njia zako hakika Mambo yako sambamba
Mipango yako sawa,sawa Njia zako hakika Mambo
yako sambamba Mipango yako sa.a……wa

Chorus
where you go I’ll go, where you stay I’ll stay, where you move I’ll move I’ll move, I will follow you

Verse two :
hakuna dhiki kwako,hakuna chuki kwako,wala unafiki kwako,baba kwako,ni marafiki kwako,kuna amani kwako,baba kwako,hakuna vita kwako,hakuna magonjwa kwako,wala talaka kwako,baba kwako
kuna upendo tele kwako,furaha kwako,umoja kwako,baba kwako

So basically what Gloria is trying to say is that the Gospel is the same and different musicians may do songs that are inspired by a similar Bible verse and so this should not be a loophole to stir controversy.
