Taking to Twitter, the tweep identified as Mtu Pombe stated that Juliani’s music was doing well before he started dating Brenda Wairimu.
It didn’t take long before the tweet caught the attention of the Hela hitmaker who told the tweep to leave Brenda alone.
He absolved her of any blame and went on to add that Brenda gave him the best gift that anyone could ever ask for- their daughter. Mtu Pombe was forced to apologize after Juliani remarks.
Hip hop star Juliani, born Julius Owino Ooko is taking legal action against the ruling Jubilee Party over copyright claims for using his track Utawala to promote the BBI Report.
The music artist condemned the party for “hijacking his thoughts and voice” without his consent during their bid of the newly unveiled political document.
“There is a lot you can take away from me, I won’t flinch. But not my thoughts and my voice,” Juliani clarified.

In a legal statement issued by his lawyers, the Utawala hitmaker accused the ruling party for infringing on intellectual property, after using a portion of the song as the soundtrack of their promotional video on one of the party’s Twitter handle.
According to the artist, “he enjoys exclusive rights under Copyright Law hence his creative work cannot be used by anyone else for whatever purpose, without his authorization.”

Further bashing the BBI report for some of its flaws that go against the party’s own principles for initiatives like job creation especially for the youths.
It is in this regard that the artist, through his lawyers felt disrespected, using his production without his consent, that implied to Kenyans he is partisan and endorses their political views.
In the end, tarnishing his name and earnings for the future.
