Ezekiel Mutua Appointed CEO Of Music Copyright Society Of Kenya (MCSK)
Ezekiel Mutua has been named Chief Executive Officer of the Music Brand Society of Kenya (MCSK) by the Board of Directors, beginning Friday, March 25, 2022.
Taking to social media, Mutua gave his profound gratefulness for his nomination stating that he was happy to return the creative assiduity, not as a controller but as a protagonist and protector of the rights of musicians.
Dr. Ezekiel Mutua makes a comeback after he was allegedly hounded out of office at the helm of Kenya Film Bracket Board.
His time at KFCB came to a close in dramatic fashion. Mutua was dubbed the” moral bobby”for his tough station on entertainment enterprises, which gained him both musketeers and foes.
While at the board, Mutua rubbed some artists and creatives at large in the wrong way. A factor that Gabriel Oguda took into account.
“Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) has appointed Ezekiel Mutua their CEO. After fighting Gengetone artistes and losing the war, he’ll now be riding incognito inside Rongai matatus and arresting drivers who are pirating Gengetone music. 2022 is the year of popcorn,” he tweeted.
In August last year, Mutua was removed from office in what he termed as unlawfull. “The way I was removed from office was unfair.
I was a topic of discussion on all media platforms,” he said during an interview with Hot 96 today.
The former CEO also alleged that his sacking from the helm of the film board was ‘a misinterpretation of the law’.
Barely two years after Tanasha Donna and Bey T stormed the internet to fight over a catchphrase, Tanasha has finally given details on her beef with the rapper for the first time.
According to the musician, the misunderstanding came after they both disagreed on an issue.
In an interview with KISS FM, the musician cum entrepreneur said Bey T was young and was misled by people into instigating petty quarrels.
“Honestly speaking I think it was just a misunderstanding, it started over a quote, the ‘Kenya to the world’ thing. And I like she was young at the time and like people tried instigating drama. You know how people can be… people can easily corrupt one’s mind, especially when there is nothing going on,” she said.
According to Tanasha, it is easy to have the feeling that people are out to kill your shine when starting, especially as a young girl in a competitive industry.
“Talking from experience as a young girl you can feel easily like people are out to get you or steal your shine…but I feel like she’s a great artist so she was trying to spit some bars which she is amazing at and I’ll give her credit for that,” she added.
The mother of one confirmed that they have a good relationship following their beef and now are both open to the idea of collaborating with Bey T even though the two have never met yet.
“Why not? I mean I like her music and she’s amazing. Plus, right now, we’re at a good place, we haven’t really met but we have people in common whom we work with,” she said.
Amid their banter, Bey T went ahead to drop a diss track called ‘Don to the Donna’ attacking Tanasha for allegedly sampling her music in 2019.
“Someone tell Tanasha to stop wave riding,” Bey T wrote on Instagram at the time.
According to the rapper, the phrase “Kenya to the World” originated from her, but Tanasha stole it.

Popular Kenyan website, Tuko.co.ke, reported that two years ago, Lupita Nyong’o was nominated for four awards in the 51st edition of the NAACP Image Awards.
