What you need to know:

  • The song — Romeo and Juliet — produced by Monster Records and features rapper Ridderman is at the centre of plagiarism.
  • Local broadcast media homedia have also been put on the spot for copyright violation after it emerged that they play pirated music.
  • Listening to Romeo and Juliet, though in Kinyarwanda language, the song draws one’s attention for its vivid similarity to Beka Flavour’s Sikinai, a song released in August last year. There is a closer resemblance first in the beats, the rhythm and the hook itself.
