According to the letter we have seen, Jetu has asked Cosoma to intervene to ensure that MultiChoice Africa is held accountable for the unauthorised use of her song, establish the extent of the infringement and financial gains accrued from the commercial. “DStv Africa, through MultiChoice, has benefitted commercially from the use of Chakwaza without any lincensing arrangement, royalties or financial compensation to the rightful owner. This is not only unlawful, but also unethical as it disregards the economic and moral rights of the Malawian musicians,” reads the letter in part. It says should Cosoma fail to take the necessary steps to address the issue, Jetu’s management will take legal action against MultiChoice Africa to seek appropriate compensation and damages for the infringement of her intellectual property.

Kell Kay’s latest afro-beat track, “Ndatopa,” has received only 410K views within two weeks of its release on a reputable YouTube channel, which falls short of the million-view mark. This slow performance stands in stark contrast to his previous hit, “Bana Pwanya,” featuring Zambian artists Yo Maps and Prince Love, which has amassed over 21 million views, making it the most viewed song in the history of Malawian music. Transitioning to the essence of “Ndatopa,” the 4:07-minute track emphasizes the importance of honesty in relationships and aims to resonate deeply with listeners who have faced emotional challenges. While the message is uplifting, the song’s streaming numbers across various platforms have been sluggish, “like watching paint dry,” especially when compared to Kell Kay’s earlier successes.
