Comedy Store CEO Alex Muhangi has shed more light on the unfolding legal battle between him and singer Bebe Cool, over copyright infringement. 

The hearing of the case kicked off today, Wednesday, March 19, at City Hall in Kampala.

It revolves around allegations made by Bebe Cool that Muhangi posted videos of his performances on the Comedy Store platform without his consent.

Speaking to the media ahead of the court, Muhangi sought to make several clarifications.

He started by addressing the genesis of the clash which he blamed on Bebe Cool.

The Gagamel Entertainment boss, according to Muhangi, had agreed to a payment of Shs 6 million to perform at Comedy Store.

However, when the artist arrived, there was confusion about the payment.

I was surprised when Bebe Cool arrived and started demanding his money at the parking lot. I called my team to inquire, and they informed me that they only had Shs 5 million in cash.

To resolve the situation, Muhangi instructed his team to pay the Shs 5 million and promised to top up the remainder via Mobile Money. Unfortunately, the singer left without performing, leading to a public fallout.

Regarding Bebe Cool’s claims that Muhangi was earning from previous videos of his performances posted on YouTube, Muhangi clarified that Comedy Store posts videos of performances for promotional purposes, and the content is not monetized on YouTube.

It is impossible to monetise the content as long as it contains someone else’s music. That is simply how YouTube operates. I cannot earn even a single penny from content featuring Bebe Cool’s music

Bebe Cool should be thankful that whenever we post his content, it drives engagement on his channels
