Rema under attack for Banina's 'Like I do' alleged replica 'Wandiisa Ki'

The 'Sibyamukisa' singer has come under the microscope with music analysts and critics trying to find the reason why an established and multi-talented artist like herself would infringe on the work of a burgeoning artist.

Banina's song was released in 2018 but claimed success in the following year. Three years later Namakula apparently found it on the shelf, took 'Like I do' as a sign to 'pick a leaf' and polished it to her taste releasing 'Wandiisa Ki'. Apparently she took the whole tree.

Although the audios are eerily similar, Namakula's video was done to fit the old-school tune with the 80's concept visuals.

Through all these accusations and digging up evidence, something moving in the shadows catches the eye and it turns out singer and songwriter Ray Signature orchestrated the mix-up.

Ray Signature, real names Raymond Joseph Mugerwa, is the writer behind Rema's song. He claims that there's no foul play in songs sounding similar, and that the difference in timeline of release dissolves the connection.

“People need to know “Like I do” and “Wandiisa Ki” were written in different seasons. They have a time difference of over 10 years,” Ray Signature said.

This is the first time Signature has been accused of having his 'hand in the cookie jar', but he has had a hand in most hit songs of fellow artist over the years, like Gyobera, Olindaba, Nzena Nzena, Gwe Aliko, by Irene Ntale. Sitaki, Deep in Love, by Rema Namakula. Double trouble by Fille, among others.
