Carol Sky Threatens Legal Action Over Alleged Double Sale of Song, Urges Songwriters to Act Ethically
Ugandan rising star Carol Sky has made serious allegations against a songwriter known as Song Booth, accusing him of selling her a song during the COVID-19 period and later reselling the same track to popular singer Lydia Jazmine. Speaking candidly in a recent interview, Carol revealed her deep frustration and hinted at plans to take legal action.
According to Carol, she purchased the song during the height of the pandemic, investing in her craft with the hope of including it in one of her upcoming projects. However, her plans took a shocking turn when she heard what she claims is the same song featured in an album by Lydia Jazmine.
“I was hurt and confused,” Carol said. “That’s a song I had already paid for during lockdown. Hearing it on someone else’s album made me feel betrayed, not just as an artist, but as a woman trying to build her name from the ground up.”
The incident came to light while Carol was being interviewed about a separate controversy involving Sheebah Karungi and Ava Peace, who recently made headlines after allegedly being given the same song by a different writer. Carol used the moment to shine a spotlight on what she described as a growing problem in Uganda’s music industry songwriters selling one song to multiple artists for profit, without transparency or accountability.
She did not directly blame Lydia Jazmine, making it clear that her issue lies squarely with the songwriter, who she claims acted in bad faith. “I don’t believe Lydia even knew. But these writers are creating problems between artists, and it needs to stop,” she added.
Carol also touched on her past misunderstandings with fellow singer Mudra, stating that she has forgiven him and has no interest in holding onto grudges. While the two have had public disputes in the past ranging from financial disagreements to royalty issues Carol says she’s ready to move forward and focus on her music.
“I forgave Mudra,” she said calmly. “What matters now is making sure the industry becomes more professional and respectful. I’m calling on all writers to do better. Selling the same song to two different people is not only unethical, it damages careers and relationships.”
Her message is clear: as an upcoming artist, Carol Sky is not afraid to speak out and demand integrity from those who shape the music behind the scenes. With legal action possibly looming and public attention growing, her stance may spark broader conversations about artist protection, songwriter accountability, and the need for structural reform in Uganda’s fast-evolving music industry.
