Only one day after King James released \u201cNdi Uwawe,\u201d Bolingo Paccy, who produced the track and also contributed to writing it, reported the song to YouTube, requesting its removal. He said the decision was made because some of the agreements reached during the production of the song were not respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dispute also affected another song, \u201cNdagushaka,\u201d which King James had recently released in collaboration with Muttima. Bolingo Paccy used his studio, UB Studio Rwanda, to file a complaint about this song as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Bolingo Paccy has not publicly detailed the exact nature of the disagreement with King James, he told IGIHE that the songs were removed because they were released without respecting the terms previously agreed upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true that I am the one who had them removed. There were things we had agreed on that were not respected. I kept trying to remind them that those agreements needed to be followed, but they didn\u2019t do so. So I relied on the copyright protection rules on YouTube to have the songs taken down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked whether he had discussions with King James\u2019 team before the songs were removed, Bolingo Paccy explained that they contacted him only after the songs had already been taken down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey called me, and I connected them with people from the team I work with because I was very busy. I will try to find time to talk with them so we can see what can be done,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, as King James\u2019 management team works on finding a solution to the issue, the artist is continuing preparations for a major concert scheduled for August 1, 2026, where he plans to celebrate 20 years in the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
