The all-female duo K&K Music, formerly known as Kataleya and Kandle under Theron Music management, have been summoned by police on accusations of libel. The duo is accused of spreading gossip, rumors, or other untruths that negatively impact a person’s reputation.
K&K Music claim they have been receiving threats from unidentified individuals since returning from their hiatus. In a statement, the duo also mentioned that some music promoters have been threatened against booking them for shows.
Despite these challenges, K&K Music express relief that formal police summons have now been issued, allowing them to address the allegations legally. They are willing to cooperate with the police to resolve the matter.
Full Statement from K&K Music:
Our Dear Fans,
Today, the police issued legal summons to Kataleya & Kandle (us) based on accusations of libel, vide Ntinda SD REF: 85/25/01/2024.
Firstly, we have been receiving calls and texts from unidentified individuals who made many unlawful threats to us. Some were illegally posing as music promoters desiring to book us for shows in Masaka.
However, according to our understanding, we should have received formal police summons prior to being intimidated, tracked, and threatened.
Since those who issued threats and tried to track us using CMI (army) and Flying Squad were unsuccessful in their attempts, they have now turned to legal and lawful measures—a thing we applaud!
We assure our cooperation and will present ourselves to the legitimate police authorities to truthfully provide a statement regarding the malicious allegations against us by our accusers in a futile bid to intimidate us and stifle our legitimate music business and livelihood. Once provided with the particulars of the complainants’ allegations, we intend to cooperate with the authorities and make a statement regarding the issue.
Kindly pray for us.
K&K Music
