Kenzo: “Bassil Is A Miguna”
Just a couple of weeks after releasing the video for the joint, “Matatu”, Kenzo has come under fire for allegedly stealing the song. The song was allegedly an original version and composure of Bassil an artist who is currently signed by the record label Evolution Media and Sound Limited.
Apparently Bassil had composed and written down this song while he was still working with Tuff Shutters Crew (remember the artist that Kenzo incorporated in his song’s video, K-mess, is a member of Tuff Shutters Crew). Bassil claimed to be in possession of the rights to the song in its whole version from the Music Copyright Society of Kenya as he had registered it.
Here are the two songs in question:

Now Kenzo has given his opinion on the whole matter, saying “Huyo Bassil ni Miguna,” implying that he is like Miguna Miguna, who early last year came out with loose allegations agains Raila Odinga.
Kenzo iterates that the song by Bassil was only a demo, while his is a fully-mastered track. He says that he has no time for Bassil’s idle publicity, and is on his hustle promoting the new song, which is hitting the charts right now.
