Madness Entertainment has come out strongly to dismiss claims circulating on social media that its artist, Kineo Madness, stole a song from another musician in his recently released track titled “Kwa Neba.”
The accusations began spreading online shortly after the release of the song, with some users alleging that the melody or concept had been taken from another artist without permission.
However, the record label insists the claims are unfounded and misleading, arguing that the song is an original creation by their artist.
In a statement seen by 247 Malawi News and shared through social media, the company’s head Kelvin Ngumuya, popularly known as Jaa Kev, defended the artist and rejected the accusations.
According to the statement, the song “Kwa Neba” was fully developed by Kineo Madness and does not infringe on any other musician’s work.
The label emphasized that the artist invested time and creativity in producing the track and therefore deserves recognition rather than criticism.
Madness Entertainment further warned that the allegations could damage the reputation of both the artist and the company if left unchecked.
The management said it is prepared to pursue action against individuals spreading what it described as false information about the song.
The company added that anyone claiming ownership of the song should present clear evidence rather than rely on social media speculation.
Officials from the label also stressed the importance of protecting artists’ intellectual property and reputations within the music industry.
They believe that unverified accusations can undermine the progress of artists who are trying to build their careers.
Despite the controversy, Madness Entertainment says it remains confident in the originality of “Kwa Neba” and stands firmly behind Kineo Madness as the rightful creator of the song.
