Veteran singer Reuben Kigame accuses the government and DJ’s of stealing from him

Singer Reuben Kigame has come out to blast the government over the petty music royalties he recently received.

As seen on a tweet shared on his page Rueben goes on to rant about DJ’s using his music to enrich themselves; yet at the end of the day he is the one composing and using resources to create his music.

According to the singer some DJ’s end up making more money through his music; than he has made in the 11 years he has been recording. Through his Twitter handle the singer wrote;

  So, radio DJs who play my music can be paid 700,000 or more a month, that is every four weeks, but I cannot make 300,000 in 11 years from tons of recordings! It is immoral.

Calls out clergy

Having released over 25 albums since he started recording his music; Reuben Kigame went on to add that his music has enriched many – apart from himself.

Addressing pastors and bishops who continue to act like nothing is happening; Reuben went on to add;

And all pastors and bishops can say is, keep serving the Lord. The government thinks I will be quiet. Never.

Unfortunately, Rueben Kigame is not the only artist complaining of theft as many continue to call out the government and its copyright bodies over the small earnings they received from alleged ‘music royalties’.
