Musician Moses Ssali, popularly known as Bebe Cool, has scored a legal victory in his ongoing dispute with comedian Alex Muhangi. A court has granted Bebe Cool and his forensic team permission to access and audit Alex Muhangi’s Comedy Store YouTube channel, seeking clarity on how much revenue may have been generated from content featuring him.
The move follows a lawsuit Bebe Cool filed against Muhangi, accusing him of using his performances without proper authorization—an alleged violation of neighbouring rights.
At the heart of the dispute is whether Bebe Cool is entitled to a share of the digital revenue earned from his appearances on the popular platform.
With court approval now in hand, Bebe’s team can examine the channel’s earnings specifically tied to videos where he was featured. However, unless further legal steps are taken following the audit, the matter won’t escalate—at least for now.
The case has already stirred broader conversations around revenue sharing in the digital age, especially between artists and event organizers in the YouTube era.
We’ll continue to follow the story and share updates as it develops.
