Legendary bongo star TID has decried the use of his tag line without consultation by CHADEMA political party.
In an emotional video, TID claims the party picked his slogan #Niyeye that he uses on his Unitalent show where he scouts for talent across Tanzania.
In the video, TID said he was so hurt a whole party would take up his creativity without seeking consent from him the creator.
“Dah Kiukweli leo nimehuzunika sana, like how come mimi niumize kichwa na my creative thinking, niandae kitu nikiwa naibua vipaji #UniTalentShow kama Judge alafu chama kabisa kina kuja ku overshadow my program kwa sababu za kisiasa! Huu ubabe utaisha lini? #NiYeye is my idea,” he posted on Instagram.
