Willar Stary’s Hit ‘Ngenderera’ Pulled from YouTube Amid Copyright Drama
Rising Ugandan star Willar Stary has suffered a setback after his hit “Ngenderera” featuring Kataleya and Kandle was removed from YouTube following a copyright strike.
The video, which had over 1.2 million views, was taken down after a complaint from Twin Jojo, who claimed it copied content from a channel called Gumpunza.
YouTube notified Willar Stary that his channel now had one copyright strike and warned that multiple strikes could lead to termination.
Fans and his management team were outraged, as the song had quickly become a trending anthem in East Africa.
His team described the takedown as sabotage from people with “bad mind.”
Despite the drama, Willar Stary’s team remains hopeful.
Industry insiders note that copyright claims are common online and can often be overturned if proven false.
For now, “Ngenderera” remains offline, but fans are rallying behind Willar Stary, urging him to fight to restore the video.
