WCB signee, Zuchu has come out to respond to claims that she stole Tanasha Donna’s lyrics for her song Cheche that features Diamond Platnumz.

Zuchu comes clean

So the next day just after Cheche’s video had premiered, one journalist asked the Bongo singer why she had stolen Tanasha’s lyrics. But Zuchu could not understand what kind of question that is.

According to her, she was the one who had scripted every bit of that song, thought about it for days before writing the final script. So Zuchu listened to Tanasha’s track Ride that features Khaligraph but could not find any similarities. Until she realized it was the Spanish bit.

Zuchu explained that before even writing the song lyrics, she was given beats by her producer and asked to figure out what to sing to. And immediately she figured the line Yo te quiero would go well with the beats.

“Cheche is not something I copied from anyone. I wrote it all from scratch I swear! I don’t know Tanasha’s manager, I have never seen him. But I can only leave it all to God,” clarified Zuchu.

The Wasafi singer revealed she had gotten tired of hearing everyday someone coming out to claim rights to Cheche. And has now decided to leave it up to God.

Zuchu’s response comes barely a week after Tanasha and her manager, Jamal Gaddafi went online to call out her baby daddy and the signee for stealing lyrics off her Donatella EP album.

Diamond Platnumz video featuring Zuchu ‘Cheche’ was recently pulled down following a copyright strike by Tony Anthony. This however comes just a few days after Tanasha and management called out Diamond Platnumz for copying lyrics from hit song, Radio.

Not quite sure why the alleged Tony Anthony pulled this move on Simba; but pretty soon we might find out judging from how confident the Wasafi management sounds. Speaking about the video being pulled down; one Kim Kayndo went on to say;

“Niko naishugulikia muda huu, maana hiyo ni fake strike; ambapo unapata kuna mtu tu anaissue a fake strike copyright strike. Inavyokuwa YouTube wanamsikiliza huyo mdai and in the meantime wanaizui video; so wakisikiliza upande wa pili ndo wanatoa maamuzi. But is a fake copyright strike ambayo nashughulikia na muda sio mrefu video itarudi tu…ingekuwa ni legit ungeona labda a certain Copyright society …lakini ukiona ni Tony Anthiny kwa hiivyo ni mtu tu kamua kuipiga strike system”

Tanasha and management behind this?

Before Cheche was pulled down, the song had managed to attract 2.5 million views on YouTube; and was already trending in both Kenya and Tanzania.

Tanasha Donna and her manager have called out Diamond Platnumz and Zuchu’s new release Cheche that is allegedly a copyright of one of her tracks off her Donnatella EP album.

Barely hours after Cheche was released, Tanasha put up a cryptic post on her gram, singing along to her favorite Ride anthem that features Khaligraph Jones, but what many did not realize is she was actually hitting back at her baby daddy and his female signee Zuchu.

Donna’s lines that are a mix of a bit of Spanish, English and Kiswahili are similarly the same lines that Zuchu used on her intro and this did not sit well with the Kenyan girl and her managers. She captioned:

???? Yo te quiero tanteee , for your love asante….???? ???????? One of my fav tracks on #DONNATELLAEP hands down! Back to when RIDE ft @khaligraph_jones was trending #1 on @audiomackafrica without an official release.

Tanasha and Khaligraph only worked on the song’s audio but never got to release its video. However, after the recent events, the two have sworn to have Ride’s video dropping soon.

Meet Zuchu the new Wasafi records member with angelic vocals from her mama, Khadija Kopa!

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Pauline Syombua

Zuchu is the new female artist signed under Wasafi records!

The lass is popularly known in Tanzania since she is the daughter of Khadija Kopa; a renowned Taarab singer who also worked with Diamond Platnumz on Nasema Nawe. A hit song created to bash Wema Sepetu back in 2015!

After handing in her version of Mbosso’s Nadekezwa; it seems that Diamond Platnumz got hooked to her voice and this is why Zuchu is part of WCB.

Mama Dangote’s love for Zucchu

Surprisingly after Zuchu was unveiled as the new WCB singer; among those who happily welcomed Zuchu to the family is Mama Dangote who could not contain herself.

Through her Instagram page, Mama D congratulated the lady also adding that Zuchu should avoid talking to gossip mongers now that she is part of Wasafi.

Simu za usiku na viji meseji punguza kabisa…

Khadija Kopa

Fans on the other hand feel that Zuchu got this change since she is Veteran Taraabu singer Khadija Kopa’s daughter!

And just like her mama, Zuchu talent is one you cannot ignore especially since she got it from the best! This also means more money for Wasafi who lost Harmonize sometime last year due to unknown reasons!
