Local artists, Big John and Noop JA, are reportedly at longheads over the ownership of the song "Fiona”.

The duo sang the track which is about a Burundian girl, Fiona, who despite her beauty, acted with integrity when she picked and returned a money purse containing $4000 (over Rfw2million to its owner (Big John).

Noop JA claims that the former does not know how to compose songs—but seeks help from other artists, like Man Martin.

However, in interview with The New Times, Man Martin slammed Noop JA’s claims.

"I’ve composed songs for very many local artists, but I have never composed any for Big John, I don’t even know him!” he said.

Jackson, the famous Rwandan producer of ‘Fiona’ confirmed that the song was composed by Big John and produced at One Way Production. Meanwhile, the furious Noop JA is not contented; he plans to take the matter to the next level.
