He emphasized that anyone wishing to remake or reproduce another musician’s work must first obtain written consent, not merely a verbal agreement.

According to the singer, such agreements are usually handled privately between the parties involved and are rarely publicized through television, radio, or social media.

He revealed that he has previously granted artists, including Sheebah Karungi, written permission to remake his songs, stressing that every authorization was documented in writing.

I have not met him because I have not given him consent. I have people I gave consent to redo my songs, like Sheebah, and it’s always written consent, not verbal.

Despite the disagreement, Ragga Dee urged musicians to embrace unity, support one another, and collaborate for the continued growth and development of Uganda’s music industry.
