Irene Namatovu’s “Fumba” Cleared of Copyright Claims Back on YouTube
The track was already a big trend online, enlisting mesmerising dance challenges on platforms such as TikTok.
In the song featuring Irene Namatovu, Nandujja takes on the familiar, “Senga” (auntie) roles, counselling a young niece on best marriage practices.
The lyrics are instructive on taking care of the lady’s husband, feeding him on time and even “overdosing” him with love.
A few days back Mariam Massa came out and said that she is the rights to the “Fumba” song and she removed the song from YouTube. While speaking on Spark TV singer Irene Namatovu said that the song belonged to her and didn’t breach any YouTube rights. As you read this song is cleared and it’s back on her YouTube Channel.
She also thanked her fans as she posted on her social media page.
” Dear fans and supporters,
I am pleased to share some good news with you all. After a thorough review by the YouTube copyright team, it has been determined that the removal of my song “Fumba” featuring Annet Nandujja was a mistake. The song does not match or resemble any other songs.
I want to thank each one of you for your unwavering support and patience during this time. Your love and encouragement mean the world to me. “Fumba” is now back up on YouTube, and I invite you all to listen, enjoy, and share it with your friends and family.
Thank you for standing by me. Let’s continue to celebrate our music together!
With love and gratitude, ” Irene Namatovu.
