Ugandan singer Cindy Sanyu has revealed details of her fallout with fellow musician Omega 256, citing disagreements over ownership, recognition, and revenue sharing from their hit collaboration, See You Tonight.Speaking in a recent interview, Cindy said the misunderstandings began after the song started receiving awards.
She alleged that Omega 256’s team believed they deserved greater recognition for the project, despite her leading its creation.Cindy explained that she sourced the songwriter, developed the track in her studio, and oversaw much of the creative process.
She also claimed that Omega’s team did not contribute financially to the song’s production.The singer further disclosed that she chose to upload the song on Omega 256’s YouTube channel to support the younger artist’s career, a decision she now regrets.
According to Cindy, the pair had agreed to share the song’s earnings equally, but she alleges that Omega ultimately received 60 percent of the revenue while she received 40 percent.
The claims shed new light on the reported fallout between the two artists, whose collaboration was widely praised by fans as one of Uganda’s strongest female music partnerships. Omega 256 had not publicly responded to the allegations at the time of publication.
