Zani release press release

I would like to inform my fans who know me & those that love my music but have never seen me, to be aware of an artist in  Uganda, who goes around calling herself a name similar to mine and having T.V interviews with my Song NDOOWA in the background. I have been contacted by some of my fans on several occasions, asking me if I know of someone in Uganda that claims and, that has been trying to steal my song NDOOWA and goes around lying to people that she owns my music. I really feel like it's important for people to know that my music is already copy righted under music law and my Name is  ZANI LADY CHOCOLATE and I am the original singer and song writer of NDOOWA, Agaba Bintu, I met somebody, Kyikambwe, Mpelekela, Celebrate and many other songs. And any fraud and misrepresentations against my Name and Music will lead to legal implications.
