Last week we broke the story of an allegation against Nameless by a Burundian singer Serge Nkurunzinza accusing him of stealing the beat used in hit song Salari.
Nkurunzinza alleged that Nameless used his beat for the song Amahera which he released three years ago without permission. But Nameless denied the allegations saying the lyrics were different although the beat was the same due to a studio mix up. Nameless says he had bought the beat from Ugandan producer Washington a few years back. "It is unfortunate that the beat is the same. I had bought it from Washington who wanted me to record Sinzia remix. I kept the beat until I wrote Salari," explains Nameless.
