Nonini hit out at legendary producer Clemmo after he claimed that he deserves a share of the money he was awarded by the court.
The US-based rapper waged a vicious court battle against Synix Electronics over copyright infringement and he came out victorious.
The dispute was settled in favour of Nonini, with a judgment delivered on March 23, 2023, at the Milimani Commercial Magistrate Court.
Nonini’s lawsuit was filed after social media influencer Brian Mutinda featured his hit song ‘We Kamu’ in a video advert that promoted the latest television sets of the brand Syinix.
Speaking to SPM Buzz, Clemmo claimed that he also own rights to the song ‘We Kamu’ since he is the one who produced it.
He further alleged that he had a gentleman’s agreement with Nonini, where they agreed that he was supposed to get rights to the song. However, Nonini did not honour the promise.
“That song is my song. I produced it and so, I own the rights. Did you hear like I was recognized anywhere after he won the suit?” Clemmo posed.
Clemmo said that producers should be respected and recognized, adding that he is concerned because his son is also an upcoming producer.
In a quick rejoinder, Nonini lamented that he used his personal resources to pursue the case, telling Clemmo if he feels that his rights were infringed he can also go to the court and file a suit.
“Ignorance sometimes huwa Mbaya: 😅😅😅
“Ngojeni kwanza nimalizane na influencer and the company then nikuje ni deal na hii ufala yenyu.
“You do know every citizen has the right to appeal any court decision as per our constitution. ???? 😅 ( So reading about things on mtandao utakaa fala sana).
“Also if you feel your Rights were infringed you are at all liberty to open a suit against the 2 (influencer and company) But court systems are about Facts not emotional outbursts on social media. You gotta prove your case.
“I have invested my time and resources in the suit which you can do the same ( Hii mambo haitaki uzembe) are we clear?
“Also I can be petty about so many things. If you want us to go down that road! Shokde Lee tunakam kuchunguza…
😅🤣 NB: in the mean time Kuna mention about this case tomorrow let me FOCUS! #Mgenge2ru,” Nonini wrote.
